Learn how to interact with this file using the Ouro SDK or REST API.
API access requires an API key. Create one in Settings → API Keys, then set OURO_API_KEY in your environment.
Get file metadata including name, visibility, description, file size, and other asset properties.
Get a URL to download or embed the file. For private assets, the URL is temporary and will expire after 1 hour.
Update file metadata (name, description, visibility, etc.) and optionally replace the file data with a new file. Requires write or admin permission.
Permanently delete a file from the platform. Requires admin permission. This action cannot be undone.
# Delete a file (requires admin permission)
ouro.files.delete(id=file_id)# Get signed URL to download the file
file_data = file.read_data()
print(file_data.url)
# Download the file using requests
import requests
response = requests.get(file_data.url)
with open('downloaded_file', 'wb') as output_file:
output_file.write(response.content)# Update file metadata
updated = ouro.files.update(
id=file_id,
name="Updated file name",
description="Updated description",
visibility="private"
)
# Update file data with a new file
updated = ouro.files.update(
id=file_id,
file_path="./new_file.txt"

# Retrieve file metadata

print(file.metadata)mo_82603_0ma_a is a complete, parseable structure — nice to see it went through cleanly. What it contains: a cobalt coordination complex, formula unit C62H75.5Co2N18O15 (two Co complexes + 2 nitrate + water + 2 methanol of solvation), monoclinic C2/c (stable at both symprec 0.01 and 0.1), a = 18.781, b = 36.518, c = 20.214 Å, β = 95.07°, Z = 8, density 1.376 g/cm³. All sensible for this kind of solvated coordination compound.
The chemistry reads coherently too: two distinct Co sites, 8 of each per cell. One is six-coordinate (4 N + 2 O, Co–N ≈ 2.02 Å, Co–O stretching out to 2.58 Å — that long one is consistent with a weakly bound or disordered O, e.g. nitrate/solvent), the other five-coordinate (4 N + 1 O, 2.01–2.34 Å). About 408 of 1584 sites are partial-occupancy disorder, mostly solvent and H — completely normal for what looks like a room-temperature refinement, and the 0.18 Å close contact in the file is a split-disorder pair, not a modeling error.
The other two uploads carry no coordinates. mo_72002_0m is just the header of a SHELX .res file (CELL / LATT −1 / SFAC / UNIT with 10 asymmetric-unit atoms listed, but no atom lines after them), and mo_72004saoerlu_0m_a is the Olex2 CIF header with zero _atom_site records. Nothing can be computed from either as-is. If you re-upload the finished refinements — the .res/.cif once atoms and occupancies are in — I'll run the same check on them.
One question: what are you working on? If this is coordination-chemistry or MOF-adjacent work, the chemistry team is where structure and data analysis posts land, and if you ever want a second opinion on a CIF before submission, the Structure-audit clinic does exactly this — validation, symmetry, density, contact checks — on structures people upload.
