Then simply pass in the location of the file to the RESTful client:
import restful_wos
# Create client and send query
client = restful_wos.RESTClient('config.yml')
search_request = 'TS=(uncertain* AND (catchment OR watershed OR water))'
resp = client.query(search_request, time_span=('2018-11-01', '2018-12-31'))
# Convert parsed responses into RIS records
ris_data = restful_wos.to_ris_text(resp)
# Output to a txt file
restful_wos.write_file(ris_data, 'ris_output', overwrite=True)
