But if people want to make pull requests, I can merge them.

This is a cross-post from https://julialang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/232791-sciences/topic/PubChemCrawler/near/216013362. If I were to create a package to search PubChem,

• is this something I should attempt to integrate with, or is it better to make it standalone? Or base it on some other package?
• Should I host it at JuliaHealth or elwhere?

Sounds good. I'll do the standalone but plan to host it here at JuliaHealth. Thanks for the input!

Happy to accept pull requests. Unfortunately this package does not have an active maintainer.

I think JuliaHealth would be a great place to host it!

This question is trickier. The problem is that BioMedQuery.jl currently doesn't have a maintainer. Additionally, I'm not sure if the package is currently functional.

@timholy If you want, you are welcome to take over as maintainer of BioMedQuery.jl. But that might entail some work, e.g. to get CI passing again.

Alternatively, it will probably be easier to develop the PubChem package as a separate package, e.g. something like JuliaHealth/PubChemAPI.jl or something like that.

I would probably recommend the latter approach. Using HTTP.jl and JSON3.jl, it's pretty quick to get a working REST client.
