Materials Project Materials Summary API is one of 29 APIs that [Materials Project](https://apis.io/providers/materials-project/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Materials Summary. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, and a getting-started guide.

Route providing a large amount of amalgamated data for a material. This is constructed by combining subsets of data from many of the other API endpoints. The summary endpoint is very useful for performing queries for materials over a large property space. Note that every unique material within the Materials Project should have a set of summary data. See the `SummaryDoc` schema for a full list of fields returned by this route.
