API Documentation

One API key, 50+ scientific computing endpoints. Protein folding, molecular docking, drug discovery, antibody design, and more. Get started in 60 seconds.

Quick Start

python

pip install scirouter

from scirouter import SciRouter

client = SciRouter(api_key="sk-sci-YOUR_KEY")

# Fold a protein
result = client.proteins.fold(
    sequence="MKTVRQERLKSIVRILERSKEPVSGAQ"
)
print(result.pdb_string[:100])  # PDB structure

Authentication

All API requests require a Bearer token in the Authorization header. Get your API key from the dashboard.

bash

# All requests require an API key in the Authorization header
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-sci-YOUR_KEY" \
  https://scirouter.ai/v1/chemistry/properties \
  -d '{"smiles": "CCO"}'

# Or use the Python SDK (auto-handles auth)
from scirouter import SciRouter
client = SciRouter(api_key="sk-sci-YOUR_KEY")

Free tier: 500 credits/month (750 for academic .edu emails). No credit card required. Sign up to get your API key.

Error Handling

Status	Meaning	Action
