bc_get_efo_id_by_disease_name

Retrieve EFO, Mondo, or HP ontology IDs for a specific disease name by querying the Ontology Lookup Service. Supports customizable search parameters for exact matches and result limits.

Instructions

Query the Ontology Lookup Service (OLS) for EFO/Mondo/HP IDs related to a disease name.

This function searches for EFO IDs associated with a given disease name using the OLS API. Always use this function if you need EFO IDs, e.g., for use in the Open Targets API.

Args: disease_name (str): The name of the disease to search for (e.g., "SIDS"). size (int): Maximum number of results to return (default: 5). exact_match (bool): Whether to perform an exact match search (default: False).

Returns: dict: Dictionary containing EFO IDs and information or error message
