brubru

The official Python client for the Brubru EU Data API: the whole EU institutional data estate behind one key. Legislation, procedures, institutions, the social directory and the input-first extract engine, all on the same five-datapoint contract.

Install

pip install brubru

Only dependency: requests.

Quickstart

import brubru

bru = brubru.Client(api_key="brubru_live_...")

# Extract structured items from any EU institutional URL (optionally EuroVoc-tagged)
res = bru.extract("https://cinea.ec.europa.eu/news-events/news_en", classify=True)
for item in res:
    print(item.document_date, item.title, item.public_url)

# The social directory: recent posts from a mapped entity
page = bru.social.posts(entity_type="commissioner", platform="x", limit=20)
for post in page:
    print(post.entity_name, post.public_url)

# Stream across all pages, capped
for post in bru.social.iter_posts(entity_type="mep", max_items=200):
    ...

Authentication

Your key is sent as the X-API-Key header. Get one on the Professional subscription (hello@beresol.eu).

Base URL

The client defaults to the API host (brubru-production.up.railway.app). The brand domain brubru.beresol.eu serves the website and the static docs, not the API, so do not point the client there. Override base_url= once a dedicated API domain is in place.

Errors

Every non-2xx response raises a typed exception, all subclasses of brubru.BrubruError:

Each carries .status and .payload.

The five datapoints

Every list/detail item exposes public_url, body_txt, body_html, document_date, creation_date (plus title/summary). On list calls body_txt/body_html are None; fetch the detail (bru.social.post(id)) for the full body. The original JSON is always on item.raw.

EuroVoc

To turn the eurovoc_descriptors an extract item carries into typed, domain-enriched objects, use the companion eurovoc package: eurovoc.from_descriptors(item.eurovoc_descriptors).

Tests

pip install -e '.[test]'
pytest -m "not live"                         # offline, no network
BRUBRU_API_KEY=brubru_live_... pytest -m live  # hits production read-only
