Add/Query Objects

Molecule, KeywordSet, Collection, and KVStore objects are always added/queried directly to the server unlike compute objects as this particular set of structures are not acted upon by the server itself.

Adding Objects

Adding objects to the server uses the client.add_* commands and takes in a list of objects to add and returns the ObjectId of the object.

>>> helium = ptl.Molecule.from_data("He 0 0 0")
>>> data = client.add_molecules([helium])
['5b882c957b87878925ffaf22']

Adding the same molecule again will not add a new molecule and will always return the same ObjectId:

>>> helium = ptl.Molecule.from_data("He 0 0 0")
>>> data = client.add_molecules([helium, helium])
['5b882c957b87878925ffaf22', '5b882c957b87878925ffaf22']

The order of ObjectId returned is identical to the order of molecules added.

Note

The ObjectId changes and is unique to a particular database.

Querying Objects

Each objects has a set of fields that can be queried to obtain the objects in addition to their ObjectId. All queries will return a list of objects.

Molecules

As an example, we can use a molecule that comes with QCPortal and adds it to the database as shown. Please note that the Molecule ID (a ObjectId) shown below will not be the same as your result and is unique to every database.

>>> hooh = ptl.Molecule.from_data("""
>>>        H          1.8486716127,  1.472346669,  0.644643566

>>> data = client.add_molecules([hooh])
>>> data
['5c82c51895d5923b946989c1']

Molecules can either be queried from their Molecule ID or Molecule hash:

>>> client.query_molecules(molecule_hash=[hooh.get_hash()])[0].id
'5c82c51895d5923b946989c1'

>>> client.query_molecules(id=data)[0].id
'5c82c51895d5923b946989c1'
