Getting started

It's strongly encouraged to use the documentation's Getting started section to get started, as it's tied to the rest of the documentation, allowing you to quickly find exactly what you need.

However, I'll provide a quick sample.

# See the Documentation for more information: https://cubiedev.github.io/TheNounProjectAPI
from TheNounProjectAPI import API

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # API Key and Secret from https://api.thenounproject.com/getting_started.html#creating-an-api-key
    key = "<my api key>"
    secret = "<my api secret>"

    # Create api object
    api = API(key=key, secret=secret)

    # See the documentation for more endpoints
    icons = api.get_icons_by_term("goat", public_domain_only=True, limit=2)

    # >>>icons
    # [<IconModel: Term: Goat Feeding, Slug: goat-feeding, Id: 24014>,
    # <IconModel: Term: Herbivore teeth, Slug: herbivore-teeth, Id: 675870>]

    for icon in icons:
        print("Icon's term:", icon.term)
        print("This icon's tags:", ", ".join(tag.slug for tag in icon.tags))
        print("Uploader's username:", icon.uploader.username)
