Authorizations

Authorization

string

header

required

Biscuit-based bearer token. Obtain tokens from the Adaptyv Portal or via the /tokens endpoint. Tokens encode organization membership and role-based capabilities; the API verifies the token's cryptographic signature and authorization claims before processing requests. Use /tokens/attenuate to create restricted tokens for delegation.

Body

application/json

Request payload for submitting a custom target with sequence or PDB data.

Users can submit their own targets for review. At least one of sequence or pdb_id must be provided. Approved targets are added to the catalog and can be used in experiments.

name

string

required

Display name for the target

Example:

"My Custom Antigen"

product_id

string

required

User-provided identifier, must be unique within your organization

Example:

"CUSTOM-001"

molecular_weight

number<double> | null

Molecular weight in kilodaltons (kDa)

Example:

15.5

note

string | null

Additional notes or context about the target

Example:

"Expressed in HEK293 cells"

pdb_file

string | null

Base64-encoded PDB file content for custom structures not in the PDB

pdb_id

string | null

PDB database identifier (e.g., "1ABC", "6LU7")

Example:

"1HHO"

product_url

string | null

URL to vendor product page or documentation

Example:

"https://www.acrobiosystems.com/product/PD1"

sequence

Example:

"MVLSPADKTNVKAAWGKVGAHAGEYGAEALERMFLSFPTTKTYFPHFDLSH"

vendor

string | null

Source vendor name if applicable

Example:

"ACRO Biosystems"
