## When to Use
- You need to fetch **KEGG pathway, gene, compound, enzyme, disease, or drug** records directly from the **KEGG REST API**.
- You want to perform **gene ↔ pathway** mapping (e.g., building inputs for pathway enrichment or reporting).
- You need **cross-references** between KEGG databases (e.g., pathway → genes, gene → KO, pathway → compounds).
- You must **convert identifiers** between KEGG and external databases (e.g., KEGG gene → NCBI Gene ID / UniProt; KEGG compound → PubChem).
- You need **drug–drug interaction (DDI)** lookups for KEGG drug IDs.
> Note: KEGG REST access is intended for academic use. Non-academic/commercial use may require a separate KEGG license.
