1.Brief Introduction
We provide programmatic access to various data resources and analysis tools via our web service APIs. To ensure client and server software from various sources will work well together, the web services are built on the REpresentational State Transfer (REST) open standard.

The following steps will guide you how to use the web services.
Step 1: Download a client program in the section3 form.
Step 2: Configure the client-side environment. Java,Perl or Python and libraries of dependencies are required.You can use pip to install Python packages and cpan to search and install Perl modules.
Step 3: Run the client program. Firstly, run the program without any arguments to see details of usage, then submit your job with proper arguments. The following are two examples of job submission using the Python2 clients:
