Dependencies

NYTimesArticleAPI requires the requests`` <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/requests>`__ and setuptools`` https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools`__ packages.

Usage

Simply import and initialize the API with your developer key:

.. code:: python

>>> from NYTimesArticleAPI import articleAPI
>>> api = articleAPI("YourAPIKey")

Then call the search function with your desired search parameters/values:

.. code:: python

>>> articles = api.search(q="Obama", 
                          fq={"headline": "Obama", 
                              "source": ["Reuters", 
                                         "AP", 
                                         "The New York Times"]}, 
                          begin_date="20161023", # this can also be an int
                          facet_field=["source", "day_of_week"], 
                          facet_filter=True)

The search function returns a Python dictionary of the search results.

You can specify multiple filters by using a dictionary::

.. code:: python

>>> fq = {"headline": "Obama", "source": ["Reuters", "AP", "The New York Times"]}

And multiple values by using a list::

.. code:: python

>>> facet_field = ["source", "day_of_week"]

More examples:

.. code:: python

>>> articles = api.search(q="Obama")

>>> articles = api.search(q="Obama", begin_date="20111231", page=2)
