PubChem Power User Gateway (PUG)
PUG provides access to PubChem services via a programmatic interface. Users may download data, initiate chemical structure searches, standardize chemical structures and interact with E-utilities. Access PUG with standard URLs or via SOAP. Technical documentation at http://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pug/pughelp.html

"description": "PUG View is a REST-style web service that provides information content that is not directly contained within the primary PubChem Substance, Compound, or BioAssay records. Its purpose is primarily to drive the PubChem database summary record web pages, but can also be used independently as a programmatic web service. PUG View is mainly designed to provide complete summary reports on individual PubChem records. Users may also be interested in PUG REST (https://pubchemdocs.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pug-rest-tutorial), a different style of service that gives smaller bits of information about one or more PubChem records.",

"description": "The PubChem Power User Gateway (PUG) provides access to PubChem services via a programmatic interface. The basic design principle is straightforward. There is a single CGI (pug.cgi, referred to hereafter as simply PUG) that is the central gateway to multiple PubChem functions. PUG takes no URL arguments; all communication with PUG is through XML.",

"description": "This REST-style interface is intended to be a simple access route to PubChem for things like scripts, javascript embedded in web pages, and 3rd party applications, without the overhead of XML, SOAP envelopes, etc. that are required for other versions of PUG. PUG REST also provides convenient access to information on PubChem records that is not possible with any other service.",
