This is a forked copy of the Python-coveapi for use with Python3. The original version is located here
I have forked this version in order to use python-coveapi with Python3. For use with Python2, see the original version.
Below is original Readme from main project...
Python-coveapi is the Python client for the PBS COVE API service.
- Read the COVE API documentation.
- Request an API Key from PBS
- Install Python dependencies:
pip install -r REQUIREMENTS.txt
Install coveapi to your Python path (hopefully in a virtualenv!).
python setup.py install
To do anything, you will first need a connection to the COVE API service:
import coveapi
cove = coveapi.connect('PHONY-COVEAPI-APP-ID', 'PHONY-COVEAPI-APP-SECRET')
To retrieve a single resource, pass the resource ID, or resource URI to *.get()
cove.videos.get(3143)
cove.videos.get('/cove/v1/videos/3143/')
cove.videos.get('http://api.pbs.org/cove/v1/videos/3143/')
To retrieve a list resources, pass the filters to *.filter()
cove.programs.filter(filter_nola_root='NOVA')
cove.programs.filter(filter_title='American Experience')
You may query with .get() or .filter() for:
- Groups:
cove.groups.get(resource_uri) - Categories:
cove.categories.get(resource_uri) - Programs:
cove.programs.get(resource_uri) - Videos:
cove.videos.get(resource_uri)
Everything returns a Python dict as emitted from JSON data.
See COVE API documentation for the complete list of filters and return data.
