Renee's First IPython Notebook and First API Usage "In the Wild" (outside of a course)

Import the "requests" library and set up the parameters to pass in the request. We're going to create a list of the 10 most recent stories matching the search term "data science".

import requests 
#key-value pairs of parameters
p = {'searchTerm':'"data science"','numResults':'10'}
r = requests.get("http://api.npr.org/query?apiKey=MDE5Mzg3Mjc2MDE0MzMyMjM3NjM5ZTI2Ng001", params=p)
#view the generated url with the parameters in the querystring (it's clickable to see the xml) and the 
#response status and content-type
print(r.url + '\nstatus:' + str(r.status_code) + '\ncontent-type:' + r.headers['content-type'])

http://api.npr.org/query?apiKey=MDE5Mzg3Mjc2MDE0MzMyMjM3NjM5ZTI2Ng001&searchTerm=%22data+science%22&numResults=10
status:200
content-type:text/xml;charset=UTF-8

Parse the XML tree and loop through it.

import lxml.etree as etree
#parse the response xml
tree = etree.XML(r.content)

#iterate through the entire tree and display each item's tag and text
for item in tree:
    #separate the stories
    if item.tag == 'story':
        print('\n---------------------------------------------------------')
    #print everything under the story tag but the paragraphs and fullText (to save space)
    for subitems in item.iter("*"):
        if subitems.tag != 'paragraph' and subitems.tag != 'fullText':
            print(subitems.tag + ': ' + str(subitems.text))
