sspa_walkthrough_colab_v1_0_0.ipynb not working

[KCrux]

Hello :),
I wanted to try the example, but there is an error when converting the compound names (https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1rUVW7tYKRdVBikpAO2CUk2RkSwrFubLi?usp=sharing#scrollTo=2bfbc3c5)

Can someone help out?

Hi,

Thank you for raising this issue. There is an issue on the MetaboAnalyst API side of things causing this for some time unfortunately. I recommend using the web server: https://www.metaboanalyst.ca/faces/upload/ConvertView.xhtml and uploading the CSV back into the notebook, as suggested in the code snippets below that section.

We are working on adding a new backend for this feature which does not rely on MetaboAnalyst API but rather some in-house code we have developed. But for now please try the workaround mentioned.

Thanks for your interest in the package and please get back to us if you encounter any more issues or have feature requests.
