>>> from requests_aeaweb import AEAweb
# Establish AEAweb connection object.
>>> deets = {'username': 'someuser', 'password': 'XXXX'}
>>> conn = AEAweb(login=deets)
# Use session attribute to access Requests methods.
>>> url = '{}/articles.php'.format(conn.url)
>>> payload = {'doi': '10.1257/aer.20130626'}
>>> request = conn.session.get(url, params=payload)
>>> request.status_code
200
# Do stuff with your request object.
>>> from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
>>> soup = BeautifulSoup(request.text, 'html.parser')
>>> soup.title
'AEAweb: AER (106,3) p. 525 - University Differences in the Graduation of Minorities in STEM Fields: Evidence from California'
The AER subclass contains the html, pdf and ref methods to download the webpage HTML, PDF and bibliographic information of articles published in the American Economic Review.
>>> from requests_aeaweb import AER
# Establish AEAweb connection object via AER.
