Tristan developed a REST API for Phenix to be able to send data to ISOLDE and suggested that ISOLDE be able to call Phenix using the same REST (http request) approach.

Tristan sent the description below to Phenix developers on Oct 1, 2019.

His [https://github.com/tristanic/isolde/tree/master/isolde/src/remote_control REST implementation in ISOLDE] is part of the [https://github.com/tristanic/isolde ISOLDE Github repository].

RBVI discussed whether his REST API should be included in the standard ChimeraX distribution in our [wiki:2019-08-29 August 29, 2019 developer meeting].
