Apologies for the confusing naming - pypi doesn’t allow the use of underscores in package names, while python doesn’t allow dashes in module names. As a result, the package name is pitchfork-api, but it is pitchfork_api everywhere else.

Installation

You can get it from python package index:

pip install pitchfork-api

You can also clone the repository, but note that pitchfork depends on beautifulsoup4 for HTML parsing so you first have to install beautifulsoup4 yourself !!!

git clone https://github.com/tejassharma96/pitchfork_api

Usage

>> import pitchfork

>> p = pitchfork.search('kanye west', 'my beautiful') # the title is autocompleted
