In the previous posts [1],[2] perl was used to get content from the web through Faroo API and Guardian APIs. In this post PHP and Pyhton will be used to get web data using same APIs. <\/p>\n

PHP<\/strong> has a powerful JSON parsing mechanism, which, because PHP is a dynamic language, enables PHP developers to program against a JSON object graph in a very straightforward way. [3] In the PHP example code shown here we do not need any additional library or module in PHP script while Perl code required some modules such as LWP, HTTP, JSON.<\/p>\n

Below is PHP code example to make API call to search function and display web title and link for returned results. You can also see online running example of PHP API script<\/a><\/p>\n

\r\n\r\n<?php\r\nif (isset($_POST['submit'])) {\r\n$request = \"http:\/\/content.guardianapis.com\/search?format=json&api-key=xxxxxxxx&page-size=10&page=1&q=\" . urlencode( $_POST[\"searchText\"]);\r\n$response  = file_get_contents($request);\r\n  \/\/ to view in plain text:\r\n  \/\/echo  ($response); \r\n$jsonobj  = json_decode($response);\r\n           \r\n for($i=0; $i<10; $i++)\r\n {\r\n   echo( $jsonobj ->response->results[$i]->webTitle);\r\n   echo( \"
\");\r\n   $s1=$jsonobj ->response->results[$i]->webUrl;\r\n   echo( \"<a href=\".$s1.\" target='_blank'>\".$s1.\"<\/a>\");\r\n   echo( \"<br><br>\");\r\n }\r\n} \r\n?>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Python<\/strong> is a widely used powerful programming language. It’s extremely popular in data science, machine learning and bioinformatics. Many websites are built around the Django Python framework. Below is the comparison of trends over the 10+ years for Python, PHP and Perl.

And here is the python code to make API call and display data for returned results. The example was developed and tested on Anaconda\/Spider(Python 3.5) environment.<\/p>\n
\r\nimport requests\r\n\r\n\r\nresp=requests.get(\"http:\/\/www.faroo.com\/api?q=analytics&start=1&l=en&src=web&f=json&key=xxxx&jsoncallback=?\")\r\nif resp.status_code != 200:\r\n  print (\"Something went wrong\")\r\n  exit();      \r\n\r\nmessage=resp.json().get('results')\r\n# to see in plain text all results enable next line\r\n# print (message)    \r\nprint (\"\\n\\n\\n\")\r\nfor item in message:\r\n        #to see everything related to item enable next line\r\n        #print (item)\r\n        print (item['url'])\r\n        print (item['title'])\r\n        print (item['kwic'])\r\n        print (\"\\n\\n\")\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
