>>> post = obscraper.get_post_by_url(intro_url)
>>> post.title
'How To Join'
>>> post.plaintext
'How can we better believe what is true? ...'
>>> post.internal_links
{'http://www.overcomingbias.com/2007/02/moderate_modera.html': 1,
'http://www.overcomingbias.com/2006/12/contributors_be.html': 1}
>>> post.comments
20
Or a full list of post URLs and edit dates:
>>> import obscraper
>>> edit_dates = obscraper.get_edit_dates()
...
>>> len(edit_dates)
4352
>>> {url: str(edit_dates[url]) for url in list(edit_dates)[:5]}
