Search InterPro for protein families, domains, repeats and functional sites by keyword (text search over entry names/accessions). InterPro is EBI’s integrated protein-signature classification (Pfam, PROSITE, SMART, CDD, PANTHER, …). Returns matching entries with accession (IPRxxxxxx), name, type (family|domain|repeat|site|…), and the member databases the signature is built from. Keyless.

Name	Type	Required	Description
`query`	string	yes	Keyword to search, e.g. “kinase”, “kringle”, “zinc finger”.
`limit`	number	no	Max entries to return (default 20, max 100).
