MycoNom API Documentation

This API allows you to use MycoNom, an AI model that can predict if a given mushroom is edible or not.

Disclaimer

This model is for educational purposes only and should not be used for real-life mushroom classification or any decision-making processes related to the consumption of mushrooms. While the model performs well on the provided dataset, it has not been thoroughly validated for real-world scenarios and may not accurately detect poisonous mushrooms in all conditions. Always consult an expert or use trusted resources when identifying mushrooms.

Response

Upon a successful request, using the Myconom API you will receive a JSON response with the model's prediction. If the API token is invalid or the request fails, an error message will be included in the response.

Example response:

{
    "prediction": "Edible"
}

The response includes the model's prediction. Validation results are excluded since this was a normal API call.

Usage example

Here's a usage example in JavaScript using the fetch API:

const apiUrl = 'https://infinitode.netlify.app/api/v1/myconom';

const data = {
  "apiKey": "YOUR_API_TOKEN",
  "capShape": "bell",
  "capSurface": "fibrous",
  "capColor": "brown",
  "bruises": "bruises",
  "odor": "almond",
  "gillAttachment": "attached",
  "gillSpacing": "close",
  "gillSize": "broad",
  "gillColor": "black",
  "stalkShape": "enlarging",
  "stalkRoot": "bulbous",
  "stalkSurfaceAboveRing": "fibrous",
  "stalkSurfaceBelowRing": "fibrous",
  "stalkColorAboveRing": "brown",
  "stalkColorBelowRing": "brown",
  "veilType": "partial",
  "veilColor": "brown",
  "ringNumber": "none",
  "ringType": "cobwebby",
  "sporePrintColor": "black",
  "population": "abundant",
  "habitat": "grasses"
};

fetch(apiUrl, {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify(data),
})
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(result => {
    console.log('Prediction:', result.prediction);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error('Error:', error);
  });

Make sure to replace 'YOUR_API_TOKEN' with your actual API token.

⚠️ Error codes

Here are a few of the error codes, you will receive in responses, to help clarify issues:

Common error codes

Error code	Description
400	Missing or invalid parameters. This is when the parameters you passed to the API, do not match the API's expected inputs.
405	Using an invalid method, to access the API.
429	The rate limit is exceeded within the current timeframe.
401	Error during the request. This can be because of insufficient API calls, input errors, or errors arising from the API's logic.

Our APIs are rigorously tested before deployments, to ensure that they do not produce any unintentional errors during production.

---

⌛ Rate limiting

We use rate limiting, to protect our API's resources. Rate limiting is implemented on all of our APIs, and follows these general principles:

- interval: The rate limiting is set to a default interval of 1 minute. - amount of requests: The amount of requests is set to a default of 25 requests within the given interval.

If the rate limit is exceeded, an error 429 code will be returned, instead of the actual API output.

---

⭐ Best practices

Common guidelines to use, optimize, and protect your implementation of our APIs.

• Do not store/share/expose your API keys

• Implement data cleaning, and validation in your code, to ensure inputs are sanitized

• Handle API errors gracefully

• Use Developer API calls, to help debug your implementation and code

• Handle API outputs accordingly. You can see examples of this API's output in the Endpoint section.

• Implement code to notify users of actions when using our APIs, such as errors, delays, formatting issues, etc.

❓ FAQs

Answers to the most common questions and issues when using this API:

I am getting a 405 error, what should I do?

When you are getting a 404 or NotFound error, you likely misspelled the API endpoint or URL. This could also be caused by using an invalid method to access the API.

Is rate limiting set individually, or per API key?

Rate limiting is set individually, this means that rate limiting happens on an end-user level. This ensures that our API is used fairly, among all users.

Are request timeouts a thing?

Yes, we normally timeout requests after the 10-second mark. This, however, can vary significantly, depending on various other factors.

What is the max payload size?

The maximum payload size for buffered executions is 4.5mb per request. For streamed executions, we use a payload restriction size of 20mb per request.

What is the recommended way to call the API?

If you can, call the API using the POST method. The GET method works but is not recommended, especially when you're calling it by directly modifying the URL. This is because URL parameters that are strings, can sometimes be misformatted afterwards, and then incorrectly passed to the API.

Is this AI model accurate?

Yes, on our testing sets, the model scored an extremely high accuracy score of 100%, however, when cross-validation was used, the model scored an average of 91.1%, showing that it struggled with specific instances/samples.

However, this model is for educational purposes only. Read the disclaimer for more information.
