python-blekko Description

blekko is a Python module that provides simple bindings to the Blekko API. To use the API, contact Blekko for an API key.This module currently only supports search queries and page statistics. The API also provides tools for manipulating slashtags, but this library doesn't support that yet.The library is internally rate-limited to one query per second in accordance with Blekko's guidelines.SearchingTo use the API, first create a Blekko object using your "source" or "auth" API key:import blekkoapi = blekko.Blekko(source='my_api_key')Then, to perform searches, use the query method. Its arguments are the search terms (as a string) and, optionally, the page number:results = api.query('peach cobbler')The returned object is a sequence containing Result objects, which themselves have a number of useful fields:for result in results: print result.url_title print result.url print result.snippetErrors in communicating with the server are raised as BlekkoError exceptions, so you'll want to handle these exceptions when making calls to the API.An ExamplePutting it all together, here's a short script that gets a single link for search terms on the command line:import blekkoimport sys_api = blekko.Blekko(source='my_api_key')def get_link(terms): try: res = _api.query(terms + ' /ps=1') except blekko.BlekkoError as exc: print >>sys.stderr, str(exc) return None if len(res): return res.urlif __name__ == '__main__': link = get_link(' '.join(sys.argv)) if link: print(link) else: sys.exit(1)Page StatisticsBlekko provides an API for getting SEO-related statistics for a URL. Use the pagestats method, which takes a URL as its only parameter, to get a dictionary containing information about a page:>>> api.pagestats('http://python.org/'){u'cached': True, u'ip': u'82.94.164.162', u'host_rank': 3835.107267,u'host_inlinks': 467267, u'adsense': None, u'dup': True,u'rss': u'http://www.python.org/channews.rdf'}Product's homepage
