fandom-py 0.2.1

Fandom API wrapper for Python

fandom-py is a Python library that makes it easy to access and parse data from any Fandom website.

Search a Fandom, get article summaries, get data like links and images from a page, and more. fandom-py wraps the Fandom API so you can focus on using Fandom data, not getting it.

>>> import fandom
>>> fandom.summary("Banshee", "Runescape")
# Banshees are Slayer monsters that require level 15 Slayer to kill. They frequently drop 13 noted pure essence, making them an alternative source of essence. Additionally, banshees tend to frequently drop many different types of herbs. Mighty banshees are a higher-levelled alternative, if this is given as your Slayer assignment.

>>> fandom.search("Forest", "Runescape")
# [('Forest', 158584), ("Forester's Arms", 13771), ('Forester (Burgh de Rott Ramble)', 37816), ('Forester', 37518), ('Forest Beyond', 498451), ('Nemi Forest', 538558), ('Jungle forester', 68434), ('Freaky Forester', 6805), ("Bartender (Forester's Arms)", 543117), ('Dense forest', 83395)]

>>> fandom.set_wiki("Runescape")
>>> drakan = fandom.page("Castle Drakan")
>>> drakan.title
# u'Castle Drakan'
>>> drakan.url
# u'http://runescape.fandom.com/wiki/Castle_Drakan'
>>> drakan.plain_text
# u'Castle Drakan is the home of Lord Drakan, the vampyre lord of Morytania. Found just north of Meiyerditch, it looms over the Sanguinesti region'...

>>> fandom.set_lang("nl") # Dutch
>>> fandom.summary("Runes", "Runescape", sentences=1)
# Runes, of Magische runes zijn kleine gewichtloze steentjes waarmee spelers een spreuk kunnen uitvoeren.

Note: this library was designed for ease of use and simplicity, not for advanced use.
