Old version

[bhanco]

Is there any way to replicate results from an older query of mygene? After several months, updates have caused some small changes to my GO results.

Many thanks

@bhanco mygene.py client (and biothings_client.py) includes a feature to set local caching for API requests. You can find more info here:

https://docs.mygene.info/projects/mygene-py/en/latest/index.html?highlight=cache+caching#mygene.MyGeneInfo

or the same from biothings_client.py (mygene.py is now a wrapper around biothings_client.py):

https://biothings-clientpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/doc/API.html?highlight=caching+cache#mygeneinfo

Basically, if you call set_caching method with a local cache file before making any queries, all query results should be cached in the local file and re-run these queries should give you the consistent results.
