timeout on ChebiEntity

[lcottret]

Calling ChebiEntity("CHEBI:15377") results in a network timeout.

Steps to reproduce :

from libchebipy import ChebiEntity
e = ChebiEntity("CHEBI:15377")
print(e.get_name())

It might be because the APIs have changed with the recent new release of ChEBI 2.0 (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/about/news/updates-from-data-resources/chebi-2-0-launches/)

You can have a look at the new APIs here: https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chebi/backend/api/docs/#/public/public_es_search_retrieve

A minimal working example that I have tested looks like this:

inchikey = 'UHOVQNZJYSORNB-UHFFFAOYSA-N'

url = 'https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chebi/backend/api/public/es_search/'

params = {
        'term': inchikey,
        'page': 1,
        'size': int(1e6)
    }

headers = {
        'accept': '*/*'
    }

try:
        response = requests.get(url, params=params, headers=headers)
        response.raise_for_status()
        data = response.json()
except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
        print(f"Error connecting to ChEBI ES API: {e}")
        return []

Where then data is a Python dictionary that is easy to handle.
I hope it helps!
Best,

PS: does someone know if there any plans of updating this repository with the ChEBI 2.0 APIs keys? Thank you :)
