Authorizations

​
Authorization
string
header
required

Biscuit-based bearer token. Obtain tokens from the Adaptyv Portal or via the /tokens endpoint. Tokens encode organization membership and role-based capabilities; the API verifies the token's cryptographic signature and authorization claims before processing requests. Use /tokens/attenuate to create restricted tokens for delegation.

Body

application/json

Request payload for submitting a custom target with sequence or PDB data.

Users can submit their own targets for review. At least one of sequence or pdb_id must be provided. Approved targets are added to the catalog and can be used in experiments.

​
name
string
required

Display name for the target

Example:

"My Custom Antigen"

​
product_id
string
required

User-provided identifier, must be unique within your organization

Example:

"CUSTOM-001"

​
molecular_weight
number<double> | null

Molecular weight in kilodaltons (kDa)

Example:

15.5

​
note
string | null

Additional notes or context about the target

Example:

"Expressed in HEK293 cells"

​
pdb_file
string | null

Base64-encoded PDB file content for custom structures not in the PDB

​
pdb_id
string | null

PDB database identifier (e.g., "1ABC", "6LU7")

Example:

"1HHO"

​
product_url
string | null

URL to vendor product page or documentation

Example:

"https://www.acrobiosystems.com/product/PD1"

​
sequence
string | null

Amino acid sequence using standard single-letter codes (A-Z excluding B, J, X, Z). Supports standard 20 amino acids plus selenocysteine (U) and pyrrolysine (O).

Example:

"MVLSPADKTNVKAAWGKVGAHAGEYGAEALERMFLSFPTTKTYFPHFDLSH"

​
vendor
string | null

Source vendor name if applicable

Example:

"ACRO Biosystems"

Response

Request submitted successfully

Response after submitting a custom target request.

​
created_at
string<date-time>
required

ISO 8601 timestamp when the request was created

​
id
string<uuid>
required

Unique identifier assigned to the request

​
status
enum<string>
required
