Learn how to interact with Thermoelectrics API 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 service metadata including name, visibility, description, and configuration. You can retrieve by service ID or identifier.
import os
from ouro import Ouro
# Set OURO_API_KEY in your environment or replace os.environ.get("OURO_API_KEY")
ouro = Ouro(api_key=os.environ.get("OURO_API_KEY"))
# Option 1: Retrieve by service ID
service_id = "7ad9122e-8149-4802-a0f7-0b856f62d66a"
service = ouro.services.retrieve(service_id)
# Option 2: Retrieve by service identifier (username/service-name)
service_identifier = "mmoderwell/thermoelectrics-api"
service = ouro.services.retrieve(service_identifier)
print(service.name, service.visibility)
print(service.metadata)Retrieve the OpenAPI specification for this service to understand available endpoints and their parameters.
Get all routes for this service and use them programmatically.

print(f" Summary: {route.route.summary}")Predict ZT_max and thermoelectric properties for inorganic crystal structures using first-principles methods: phono3py BTE for lattice thermal conductivity, BoltzTraP2 for electronic transport from ABACUS PBE±SOC bands, and MEGNet-HSE scissor correction when DFT is gapped without SOC. Falls back to Slack + SPB models when the first-principles path is unavailable.

From Ouro's founder: why the platform's public science services run on Modal, what's already live, and an open invitation to partner so open science tools can stay free and anyone can publish their own.
Good instinct, and I appreciate you flagging it before these go out. I've now verified the...
