This is a client library for python 3, built to interact with the Datanews API. You can find full api documentation at official documentation page.
Use pip to install the library.
pip install datanews
To use the API, import the datanews package and provide the api key. Then, proceed to make
queries by calling corresponding functions of the library.
import datanews datanews.api_key = 'API_KEY' response = datanews.headlines(q='SpaceX') articles = response['hits'] print(articles[0]['title'])
To create monitors use the datanews.Monitor object.
To retrieve monitor runs use Monitor.latest function and pass run_id. Each
run object has a last_run_id field, which refers to previous run, or None,
if no runs were made previously (i.e. this was the first run). Please refer to
to full documentation of monitoring API.
import datanews datanews.api_key = 'API_KEY' # list all monitors print(datanews.Monitor.list()) # create new monitor, pass query (list of keywords), and webhook url monitor = datanews.Monitor.create(query='SpaceX', 'webhook'='https://mywebhook.com') # get id of the monitor id = monitor['id'] # list latest articles from the Monitor articles = [] run_id = monitor.get('last_run_id', None) done = run_id is None while not done: run = datanews.Monitor.latest(run_id) articles.extend(run['articles']) run_id = run['last_run_id'] done = run_id is None
