Given herb names or IDs, fetches herb-compound-target data from the API and constructs a typed igraph network.

Usage

build_hct_network(
  herbs,
  target_method = "drugclip",
  max_compounds = 50L,
  progress = TRUE
)

Arguments

herbs: Character vector of herb names or UniTCM herb IDs.
target_method: Target prediction method passed to get_compound_targets(): "drugclip" (default), "chembl", or "both".
max_compounds: Maximum compounds per herb to include (default 50).
progress: Show progress messages (default TRUE).

Value

An igraph graph object with vertex attributes name, type ("herb", "compound", "target"), and label.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
g <- build_hct_network(c("UNITCM_H001", "UNITCM_H002"))
igraph::vcount(g)
} # }
