Installation

pip install pydracor

Classes

• DraCorAPI

  Base class used to represent the Drama Corpus entity with which Corpus and Play are created.

• Corpus

  A class with which the corpora/{corpusname} endpoints can be requested

• Play

  A class with which the corpora/{corpusname}/plays/{playname} endpoint can be requested

• DTS

  A class with which the dts endpoints can be requested

• Wikidata

  A class with which the wikidata endpoints can be requested

Code examples

Import all classes

from pydracor import DraCorAPI, Corpus, Play, Wikidata, DTS

Dracor

• Initialize a DraCor instance

  dracor = DraCorAPI()
  

• Initialize a local DraCor instance by setting the host

  dracor = DraCor(host="http://localhost:8088/api/v1")
  

• Get summary as an Info object (/info)

  dracor.get_info()
  

• Get the list of available corpora in DraCor (/info/copora) and get names

  corpora = dracor.get_corpora()
  corpora_metrics = dracor.get_corpora(include='metrics')
  corpora_names = [corpus.name for corpus in corpora]
  

• Get the resolved id for a play (/id/{id})

  dracor.get_resolve_play_id("als000001")
  

• Get the plays with characters by wikidata id

  dracor.get_plays_with_character_by_id("Q131412")
  

Corpus

• Initialize a Corpus instance with the DraCor class (/corpora/{corpusname})

  corpus = dracor.get_corpus('rus')
  

• Corpus info as dictionary

  corpus.to_dict()
  

• Access corpus attributes, plays as a list of PlayInCorpus objects

  corpus.name
  corpus.plays
  

• Extract all play ids from the corpus

  play_ids = [play.id for play in corpus.plays]
  

• Filter plays: normalized year after 1800

  plays_after_1800 = [play for play in corpus.plays if play.year_normalized > 1800]
  

• Get list of metadata for all plays in a corpus (/corpora/{corpusname}/metadata)

  metadata = corpus.metadata()
  

• Filter plays: Number of Acts more than five

  plays_more_than_five_acts = [play for play in metadata if play.num_of_acts > 5]
  

• Convert metadata to DataFrame

  import pandas as pd
  play_metadata_df = pd.DataFrame([play_metadata.to_dict() for play_metadata in metadata])
  

• Get metadata as csv (/corpora/{corpus}/metadata/csv)

  metadata_csv = corpus.get_metadata_csv()
  

• Create Play in corpus (corpora/{corpusname}/plays/{playname})

  play = corpus.get_play("gogol-revizor")
  

Play

• Initialize a Play instance by corpus name and play name (corpora/{corpusname}/plays/{playname})

  play = dracor.get_play("ger","gengenbach-der-nollhart")
  

• Extract summary in a dictionary

  play.to_dict()
  

• Access Play attributes

  play.normalized_genre
  play.characters
  

• Get and access network metrics for a single play (corpora/{corpusname}/plays/{playname}/metrics)

  metrics = play.get_metrics()
  metrics.average_degree
  

• Get a list of characters of a play (corpora/{corpusname}/plays/{playname}/characters)

  characters = play.get_characters()
  

• Convert character list to DataFrame

  import pandas as pd
  df = pd.DataFrame([character.to_dict() for character in characters])
  

• Get a list of characters of a play as csv (corpora/{corpusname}/plays/{playname}/characters/csv)

  play.get_characters_csv()
  

• Get networkdata of a play in different formats (corpora/{corpusname}/plays/{playname}/networkdata/{graphml, gexf, csv})

  play.get_networkdata("graphml")
  play.get_networkdata("gexf")
  play.get_networkdata("csv")
  

• Get relations of a play in different formats (corpora/{corpusname}/plays/{playname}/relations/{graphml, gexf, csv})

  play.get_relations("graphml")
  play.get_relations("gexf")
  play.get_relations("csv")
  

• Get spoken text of a play (excluding stage directions) (corpora/{corpusname}/plays/{playname}/spoken-text)

  play.get_spoken_text()
  play.get_spoken_text(sex='MALE')
  play.get_spoken_text(relation='siblings')
  

• Get spoken text for each character of a play (corpora/{corpusname}/plays/{playname}/spoken-text-by-character)

  play.get_spoken_text_by_character()
  

• Get stage directions of a play (corpora/{corpusname}/plays/{playname}/stage-directions)

  play.get_stage_directions()
  

• Get stage directions and speaker text of a play (corpora/{corpusname}/plays/{playname}/stage-directions-with-speakers)

  play.get_stage_directions_with_speakers()
  

DTS (Distributed Text Services)

• Initialize a DTS instance

  dts = DTS()
  

• Get Entrypoint of the DraCor DTS implementation (/dts)

  dts.get_dts()
  

• Get the list of the available collections of a corpus (/dts/collection)

  dts.get_collection("rus")
  

• Use navigation endpoint of DTS (/dts/navigation)

  dts.get_navigation("rus000160", "body/div[1]")
  dts.get_navigation("rus000160", start="body/div[2]/div[1]", end="body/div[2]/div[2]")
  

• Use document endpoint of DTS (/dts/document)

  dts.get_document("rus000160", "body/div[1]")
  dts.get_document("rus000160", start="body/div[2]/div[1]", end="body/div[2]/div[2]")
  

Wikidata

• Initialize a Wikidata instance

  wikidata = Wikidata()
