MATCHBox API Utils

MATCHBox API Utils is a Python3 package designed to interact with the NCI-MATCHBox system, and is intended to offer a simple, programmatic way to retrieve results from the system for larger scale cohort analyses. While the UI of the system is quite nice and robust, clicking through many windows to gather data one wants can be challenging, and the hope is that this tool will fill in the gaps.

Note that access to this system is limited to authorized users, and access credentials must be obtained and configured in order to use this package. A full set of documentation on this package can be found here.

Installation

The most simple way to install this is using the included Python setup.py script by running:

$ sudo python3 setup.py install

Once setup is running, you'll have to configure the package with a postinstaller script. Again, consult the larger documentation for specifics.
