get_entry
Fetch a full KEGG flat-file entry by ID and return it as parsed fields plus raw text. IDs look like "C00031" (compound), "hsa00010" (pathway), "D00009" (drug), "K00844" (KO/ortholog), or "ec:1.1.1.1" (enzyme). Parsed fields include ENTRY, NAME, FORMULA, CLASS, PATHWAY, DESCRIPTION, cross-references…
list_database
List all entries in a KEGG database (id + description). Useful for enumerating things like KEGG pathways ("pathway"), drugs ("drug"), or supported organisms ("organism"). Results are capped at 100 with a truncated flag. Keyless.
