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 a [attachment:"Remote interface discussion text.pdf" description] of his Phenix / ChimeraX communication API  to Phenix developers on October 1, 2019.  A [attachment:"Thoughts on ChimeraX-Phenix integration.docx​" more recent description] is in his Phenix/ChimeraX interaction write-up.

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].
