Method: InterMine::Service#initialize

Defined in:
lib/intermine/service.rb

#initialize(root, token = nil, mock_model = nil) ⇒ Service

Construct a new service.

service = Service.new("www.flymine.org/query", "TOKEN")

Arguments:

root

The URL to the root of the webservice. For example, for FlyMine this is: “www.flymine.org/query/service” For simplicity’s sake, it is possible to omit the scheme and the “/service” section, and just pass the bare minimum: “www.flymine.org/query”

token

An optional API access token to authenticate your webservice access with. If you supply a token, you will have access to your private lists and templates.
