When using the tmalign mode via API for searching, what type of TM-Score is the obtained evalue? #560

Due to insufficient local disk space, I am attempting to retrieve the TM-score via the API.

ticket_url = "https://search.foldseek.com/api/ticket"
with open(pdb_path, 'rb') as f:
            response = requests.post(
                ticket_url,
                files={'q': f},
                data={
                    'database[]': ['afdb50'],
                    'mode': 'tmalign'
                }
            )

Previously, you mentioned that under the tmalign mode, the "evalue" column represents the TM-Score. However, I noticed that the evalue values in the results differ from the TM-scores obtained using the web service.

Image Image Therefore, I would like to ask: Is the evalue in the results obtained by calling the tmalign mode via the API an accurate TM-Score? Or could this value be a different type of TM-Score (such as qtmscore or ttmscore) compared to the TM-Score in the web server? Or is there any other way to get the TM-Score?
