Unique Project Identifier
We currently redesigning our MINERVA plugin by moving major parts of the network analysis to a dedicated web server at the SBI.
My idea is to make the plugins work on all MINERVA disease maps and projects by fetching the SBML files and MINERVA data for the project on which the plugin was loaded. Because the information is static, this needs to be done only once for each project the first time the plugin is loaded.
Now the question: Is there a way to uniquely identify a project and/or a fast way to check whether there are differences to the existing version? My first idea would be to use URL + project id + creation date (up to seconds). But, as far as I am aware, the javascript API does not provide information on the creation date and time. The Rest API does, but (understandably) requires the auth token.
