Difference between Materials project New and Legacy

Materials Project

Couple of things to consider:

  • If you’re retrieving a lot of structures or repeatedly have to run the same queries, it’s much more performant to download all structures, save them to disk and post-filter (see here for a start)
  • You don’t need to call mpr.get_structure_by_material_id(). The structure should already be in your structures list and accessible via structure_summary.structure.
