Is there mirwalk2.0 client-side or library?

Question

[cmarchi83]

Hi!

​I develop an application and I will query microrna in The mirwalk 2.0.

​I haven't found any information it's site about a client-side application, web service API, or python or R tool to search microrna and get all the data found.

​Does anyone know whether there is a library, web service AP or client-side for mirwalk 2.0?

​Thank to very much!

I can think of two options:

1. In the miRWalk2.0 website, under the holistic view you can download the entire data.

2. There is an R package called SpidermiR where you can give the list of miRNAs and get either a list of validated targets or a list of predicted targets (only from 4 different available tools). The functions of interests are: SpidermiRdownload_miRNAprediction(), and SpidermiRdownload_miRNAvalidate(). However, you can read the vignette and maybe find other options as well.
