Python client for the Diffbot API.

Project description

Bitdeli Build Status Coverage Status

How to use it:

>>> import diffbot
>>> json_result = diffbot.article('https://github.com', token='…')

The above simple example is a shortcut for using the diffbot.Client class.

>>> import diffbot
>>> client = diffbot.Client(token='…')
>>> json_result = client.article('https://github.com')

The above calls are shortcuts for using the diffbot.api() function and the diffbot.Client.api method:

>>> import diffbot
>>> client = diffbot.Client(token='…')
>>> json_result = client.api('article', 'https://github.com')

To POST data (text or HTML) to the API, use the text or html arguments:

>>> import diffbot
>>> client = diffbot.Client(token='…')
>>> json_result = client.api('article', 'https://github.com', html='''
