CASEntry(cas='7732-18-5', name='water', formula='H2O')
>>> # Get entry by chemical formula
>>> cas.database.get(formula="H2O")
CASEntry(cas='7732-18-5', name='water', formula='H2O')
>>> # Get entry by chemical name
>>> cas.database.get(name="water")
CASEntry(cas='7732-18-5', name='water', formula='H2O')
>>> # Explore the retrieved entry
>>> gold = cas.database.get(name="gold")
>>> gold
CASEntry(cas='7440-57-5', name='gold', formula='Au')
>>> # Access specific attributes of the entry
