UPDATE: sadly, the ZEIT team have stopped offering the API, so this will not work anymore :(
A simple Python Wrapper for the Zeit Online Content API, written in python. Not official from Zeit Online !
For an overview of the API, view the original Docs or try them out in their explorer. my Post with more infos.
For all of this to work, you need an API-Key from their developer team, get one by writing a mail to [email protected]. Be nice and state your intention.
you can install the package with pip from PYPI, the python package Index.
pip install zeit-onlineTo import the package into your file just run this simple command
import zeitTo get started with interacting with the API, you need to initiate a API-Instance and set your API-Key you got from the developers
api = API()
api.set_token("API-KEY") #put your key in hereNow you have many different methods at your hands to interact with the API. Look at the full documentation to see everything.
A simple method is the get_status method to check the status of your connection
api.get_status() #returns "everything ok" if it worksI would say the most important Method is the search_for method. With it, you can search all endpoints in the API for a specified string.
api.search_for("John Kennedy") # search the default content endpoint for "John Kennedy", returns a search classFor more documentation, look at the docs and the example Notebook
