Quick Reference

# Fetch structure via Biopython
from Bio.PDB import alphafold_db
predictions = list(alphafold_db.get_predictions("P00520"))
alphafold_db.download_cif_for(predictions[0], directory="./output")

# Direct API call
import requests
resp = requests.get("https://alphafold.ebi.ac.uk/api/prediction/P00520")
entry_id = resp.json()[0]['entryId']  # AF-P00520-F1
