Rich Apodaca is using our services and, being Rich (and I mean that in a GOOD way!) he is being more demanding. He comments as shown below:
What is feasible at present? Here are some URLs …try them out

Rich provides an example of a developer wanting to utilize the services in a certain way..as outlined below….
We’re doing what we can to satiate those needs… Rich, it’s nice to be appreciated. Thanks!

Me… demanding? What ever gave you that idea?
Actually, this is great stuff.
But…
I’m not sure this fits w/ ChemSpider’s goals, so feel free to say so… I”d still like the url:
http://www.chemspider.com/InChIKey/DEIYFTQMQPDXOT-RERXVCSDCZ
and the others like it to point to the compound summary page – not to a query results page. If the encoded InChIKey is not on CS, then a 404 would be returned.
Then, nesting CS resources (images, links, molfiles, etc.) for a molecule under it’s InChIKey URL would make it trivial to program ChemSpider.
