Webservice/Download Options For Homology Models

Hi,

I am looking for a webservice from which I can programmatically download homology model(s) for a given transcript accession code of human genes. Swiss-Model seems to explicitely forbid to scrape structures from their wepage (see FAQ: http://swissmodel.expasy.org/?pid=smd06) and they don't offer an API. Is there any other webservice which would allow for this? Alternatively, is there any repository of homology models for all human genes that I could download?

Very many thanks in advance, A.

Please define "transcript accession code." You mean something like an Ensembl transcript ID?

I just found that in the README of the ModBase FTP:

All models for a database ID:

http://salilab.org/modbase/retrieve?databaseID=database_id_from_summary_file
for example:
curl "http://salilab.org/modbase/retrieve?databaseID=Q12321"

One specific model:

http://salilab.org/modbase/retrieve?modelID=modelid_from_summary_file
for example:
curl "http://salilab.org/modbase/retrieve?modelID=064dd62ea7483831c9cfc1f72499630e"
