# restful-wos

A client for Clarivate Analytics' Web of Science RESTful API.

Currently requests and extracts data in RIS format.

## Installation

From PyPI via pip

```bash

$ pip install restful-wos

```

Latest development version:

```bash

$ git clone git+https://github.com/ConnectedSystems/restful-wos.git

$ cd restful-wos

$ pip install -e .

```

## Usage

Firstly, put your Web of Science access tokens into a yaml file in the following format:

```yaml

restful_wos:

  wos_lite: YOUR ACCESS TOKEN FOR THE `LITE` API

  wos_expanded: YOUR ACCESS TOKEN FOR THE `EXPANDED` API

```

Then simply pass in the location of the file to the RESTful client:

```python

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)

```
