• Free software: MIT license

• Documentation: https://pykitopen.readthedocs.io.

Getting Started

Installation

The package is best installed using pip, as it will also install all the necessary dependencies

$ pip install pykitopen

Usage

To query the KITOpen search function, simply create a KitOpen wrapper object with the desired configuration and call the search function with the relevant parameters. The returned SearchResults object can be iterated for all the publications.

from pykitopen import KitOpen, Publication
from pykitopen.config import DEFAULT

kitopen = KitOpen(DEFAULT)
results = kitopen.search({
    'author':       'MUSTERMANN, MAX',
    'start':        '2012',
    'stop':         '2016',
    'view':         Publication.VIEWS.FULL
})

for publication in results:
    print(publication.data)

Features

The library is still under development, which is why this first version only provides some basic functionality. At the moment only a publication search is supported:

• Searching by author and by year

• Customizable publication “views”, which define the fields to be included.

Planned

• Support more search parameters such as publication type, open access availability etc.

• Add support for the metrics generation feature of KITOpen.

• Add additional batching strategies

• Add export of the result to different formats such as CSV, JSON…
