Access to KEGG database using MySQL

Question

[melissachua90]

I want to query the KEGG database from a remote server. I couldn't find any information about how I can connect to the KEGG database. It's not in the API (https://www.kegg.jp/kegg/rest/keggapi.html).

KEGG API is a REST-style Application Programming Interface

the REST method is unrelated to any SQL database.
