Python wrapper for the Clincal Trials API.
Project description
A Python API wrapper for the [ClincalTrials.gov API](http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/info/linking).
Documentation for [ClinicalTrials.gov can be found here.](http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/info/linking)
Usage
The Trials class only has two methods – search and download. The same information from search is returned to the download method in ZIP file format.
>>> from clinical_trials import Trials >>> t = Trials() >>> t.search("alzheimer's disease")>>> t.search('diabetes', 'cond') >>> t.search('diabetes', 'condition') >>> t.search(condition='diabetes')>>> # Specify the number of trials turned. ... t.search(intervention='Fluoxetine', count=200)>>> # Find trials no longer recruiting. ... t.search('lyme disease', recruiting='closed')>>> # If you want plain XML returned back. ... t.search(sponsor='NHLBI', output_format=None)>>> # You can also find trials by location -- up to 3 states or countries. ... t.search('cancer', state='TX')>>> t.search('diabetes', state1='TX', state2='NY', state3='CA') >>> t.search(condition='lyme disease', country1='US', country2='CA')>>> # And you can download a ZIP file with the data. ... zip_file = t.download('cancer', count=500)
