PubChem PUG REST API

The PubChem Power User Gateway (PUG) REST API provides programmatic access to PubChem's chemical compound, substance, and bioassay data. Developers can retrieve compound properties, structures, synonyms, and cross-references by name, SMILES, InChI, CID, SID, or AID. The API supports structure search operations and integrates with E-utilities for cross-database queries. Responses are available in JSON, XML, SDF, and other formats.
