  title: KEGG REST conv info API
  description: 'The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) REST API provides programmatic access to KEGG databases covering biological pathways, metabolic networks, molecular interactions, drug targets, disease associations, chemical compounds, genomic sequences, and functional orthologs across thousands of organisms. The API exposes seven core operations — info, list, find, get, conv, link, and ddi — enabling identifier conversion, cross-database linking, keyword and structure searches, and full entry retrieval in text, KGML, and JSON formats. Academic use is free; commercial use requires a license from Pathway Solutions. Rate limit is 3 requests per second per client.
