Dear cBioPortal team,

I would like to know if there is a way to use your Mutation Mapper tool locally on a server ?
It would be fantastic if I could integrate the creation of such plots with my own data to my routine pipeline, working on a CentOS 7 server. I see that we can request your database via R, but I can't find any help about using MutationMapper via your R library.

Wish you a great day,
Best regards, 

Cyril Fournier

Hi Cyril, 

I'm consulting with my team about the best way to do this.

Hi Cyril, 

So, we could quite easily adapt the mutation mapper page (https://www.cbioportal.org/mutation_mapper) to accept posted data (HTTP POST).  So, in R, you would assemble the mutation data and then script to open a browser window with a post request.   This assumes you have a human user who just wants to see the generated visualization and perhaps export it.   If you actually want to be able to spit out a bunch of SVG or PNG files automatically, probably the easiest thing to do would be to use a headless browser automation tool (e.g. https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer) to do automate the interaction with the browser on a server (and save exported file somewhere).    This would still necessitate the work on our end to accept posted data. 

So, let us know what your desired use case is.
