To use the Mcule script for StarDrop
You must first create a free Mcule account on mcule.com, and request a token from support@mcule.com. Once generated, your API token will be available on mcule.com/accounts/api-access/.
Before your first search, you will be prompted to enter the API token. All of the following scripts are available under the Custom Scripts->Mcule menu.
With Query from selection and Draw molecule you can run a search for the queries that you have selected, or for a drawn structure. You can specify the search type (exact, similarity, substructure), the collection (full, in_stock), set the similarity threshold, and adjust the maximum number of hits returned for each query. Optionally, you can also fetch pricing information for the hits.
The Price details for Mcule ID list script allows you to fetch pricing information for list of Mcule IDs pasted into a text box.
