medialab / nyt-api

fetch nyt articles, store them into db, display authors

warning

super QAD nyt-api fetcher, used during sprint with the query: "global warming" OR "climate change"

example

to see sample result of the /authors endpoint, go to:

http://medialab.github.io/nyt-api/public/sample.html

it works because i just copied and pasted my local rendered html (and the /css and /js are relatives in the same /public folder)

to do

• put all the special cases from bam.utils.js in config.js
• automatic time-interval splitting (not only month by month)
• allow multiple queries

install

npm install

run

cp config.default.js config.js (and update)

mongod

npm start

use

got to:

• http://localhost:3000/all to display all articles json
• http://localhost:3000/write to write db to a local .csv file
• http://localhost:3000/launch to start fetching articles (warning!)
• http://localhost:3000/authors to display list of authors (see sample above)

fetch will be done by month between the years defined in config.js
