Hi, i'm a beginner user of KEGGSOAP and for my application, one of the most important kegg functions is get_reactions_by_compound, can I create a function to KEGGSOAP with something like this function (compound.id.list) { require(KEGGSOAP) unlist(.SOAP(KEGGserver, "get_reactions_by_compounds", .soapArgs = list(compounds_id_list = compound.id.list), action = KEGGaction, xmlns = c("URI", "SOAP/KEGG"), nameSpaces = SOAPNameSpaces(version = KEGGsoapns), .types = list(listType))) } where do I found KEGGaction definitions? best regards Ricardo [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi Ricardo, I think you are on the right track. You will also want to look at the zzz.R file in KEGGSOAP which has the few lines of code needed (from the XML package) to parse the WSDL. If you are curious about the KEGG API. Have a look at their website: http://www.kegg.jp/kegg/soap/doc/keggapi_manual.html Does that answer your question?
