PubChem Scraper

Looks up chemical compound properties by name through the public PubChem PUG REST API. No login, no proxy, no browser.

Input

FieldTypeNotes
compoundNamesarrayRequired. Chemical names. Default ["aspirin", "caffeine", "glucose"].

Output

One row per compound: searchedName, cid, molecularFormula, molecularWeight, smiles, iupacName, xLogP, pubchemUrl.

Notes

  • PubChem renamed CanonicalSMILES to ConnectivitySMILES. Requesting the old name still works — the API quietly returns the new one — so reading the response by the name you asked for yields undefined. Both spellings are handled.
  • Molecular weight is returned as a string and converted to a number.
  • A name with no match returns HTTP 404; it is logged and skipped, and the run only fails if nothing resolved.
  • Only the first matching compound is taken per name. Ambiguous common names can map to several CIDs, and PubChem orders them by relevance.
