Python Client built against the `Wolfram|Alpha <http://wolframalpha.com>`_
|
|
v2.0 API. This project is hosted on `Github
|
|
<https://github.com/jaraco/wolframalpha>`_.
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
Basic usage is pretty simple. Create the client with your App ID (request from
|
|
Wolfram Alpha)::
|
|
|
|
import wolframalpha
|
|
client = wolframalpha.Client(app_id)
|
|
|
|
Then, you can send queries, which return Result objects::
|
|
|
|
res = client.query('temperature in Washington, DC on October 3, 2012')
|
|
|
|
Result objects have `pods` (a Pod is an answer group from Wolfram Alpha)::
|
|
|
|
for pod in res.pods:
|
|
do_something_with(pod)
|
|
|
|
Pod objects have ``subpods`` (a Subpod is a specific response with the plaintext
|
|
reply and some additional info)::
|
|
|
|
for pod in res.pods:
|
|
for sub in pod.subpods:
|
|
print(sub.text)
|
|
|
|
You may also query for simply the pods which have 'Result' titles or are
|
|
marked as 'primary' using ``Result.results``::
|
|
|
|
print(next(res.results).text)
|
|
|
|
All objects returned are dictionary subclasses, so to find out which attributes
|
|
Wolfram|Alpha has supplied, simply invoke ``.keys()`` on the object.
|
|
Attributes formed from XML attributes can be accessed with or without their
|
|
"@" prefix (added by xmltodict).
