REST Based Solubility Data Website Project

This is a CakePHP REST style website developed to show how to take existing chemical property data and re-publish it so that it can be more easily searched and the downloaded via an API. Data from the NIST-IUPAC Solubility database (link below) were scraped from the website using PHP scripts and ingested into a MySQL database.

You can download this project, put it up on a server (Apache and PHP) and load the data in sol.sql.zip into a MySQL database to get your own working copy. Be sure to

  • change the base URL of the website in the sol.php config file
  • turn on mod_rewrite and edit /app/webroot/.htaccess to change the RewriteBase (currently /solubility)
  • copy modify the database.php config file to authenticate to MySQL.

Links

  • Access a working version of this project at here
  • Go to the original source of the data available from NIST
  • Access the paper published on this site (coming soon...)
