Materials Platform for Data Science: API

The API stands for the application programming interface, a way to get the MPDS scientific data automatically in a high-throughput manner for the machine analysis. The possible applications are high-throughput simulations, machine learning, and other data-intensive techniques in materials science.

Here you will find:

• website developer.mpds.io with the documentation

• issue tracker for the MPDS API (please, report any troubles creating issues)

• kickoff Python scripts:

  • The uranium-oxygen chemical bond length distribution
  • Clustering the band gaps of binary compounds
  • Statistical relationship of physical property and crystalline structure
  • Retrieval of binary systems producing no compounds
  • Calculating the Pilling-Bedworth ratio of metals
  • and more, just see the MPDS API kickoff scripts folder

• MPDS API Jupyter notebooks:

  • Short intro: basic plotting using the periodic table
  • Basic MPDS API usage: machine-learning and peer-reviewed data
  • Advanced MPDS API usage: unusual materials phases from the machine learning
  • Advanced MPDS API usage: pVT-data and EoS fitting

Login at the MPDS if you'd like to use this API with the open MPDS data:

• cell parameters vs. temperature and pressure diagrams (about 6k entries)
• all compounds containing both Ag and K (about 250 entries)
• all binary compounds of oxygen (about 6k entries)
• all data generated by machine-learning (about 900k entries)
• all data generated by first-principles calculations
