extract publication titles based on accession number from uniprot in python

Question

[taojincs]

Is there any way to extract publication titles based on accession numbers (not UniProt identifiers) from UniProt in python?

I know how to do it in Java using UniProt Java API but wonder if there is any way to do it in python. Thank you!

What kind of identifiers do you have if not UniProt identifiers? Have you had a look at the REST API of the UniProt website, https://www.uniprot.org/help/api ?

I figured it out.

Firstly, map the accession number into the entry id: https://www.uniprot.org/uploadlists/

Then, https://www.uniprot.org/help/api_retrieve_entries will help out.

Both can be achieved in python.
