# Duaer MASST
Search an MS/MS spectrum across public metabolomics datasets or the GNPS library with GNPS2 fast MASST through Duaer with a Duaer key.
The call waits up to 45 seconds for the search to finish.
## Call
`GET https://api.duaer.com/v1/data/masst?usi=mzspec:GNPS:GNPS-LIBRARY:accession:CCMSLIB00005435737&library=public&limit=10`
Header: `Authorization: Bearer <Duaer key>`
Use an account key or a model API key.

Provide `usi`, or `peaks` with `precursorMz`.
- `usi` — spectrum to search, such as a https://skills.duaer.com/spectrum.md result.
- `peaks` — MS/MS peaks as `mz:intensity` pairs separated by spaces, used when `usi` is empty.
- `precursorMz` — precursor m/z, required with `peaks`.
- `charge` — optional. Precursor charge. Default 1.
- `library` — optional. `public` (public datasets, default), `gnpsData` (GNPS and MassIVE data), or `gnpsLibrary` (GNPS reference library).
- `cosine` — optional. Minimum cosine similarity from 0 to 1. Default 0.7.
- `limit` — optional. From 1 to 20. Default 10.
## Result
Each item has `source`, `title`, `url` (spectrum viewer), `summary`, `usi`, `dataset`, `libraryAccession` (GNPS library matches), `cosine`, `matchingPeaks`, and `deltaMass`.
Datasets tell you in which studies, samples, or organisms the unknown spectrum was seen.
A search that does not finish in 45 seconds returns 503 and uses 0 credits.
