git clone https://github.com/michalczaplinski/pitchfork.git
## Usage
.. code:: python
>> import pitchfork
>> p = pitchfork.search('kanye west', 'my beautiful') # the title is autocompleted

u'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy'
>> p.label()
u'Def Jam / Roc-A-Fella'
>> p.editorial()[:100] # get the first 100 characters of the review.
u"Kanye West's 35-minute super-video,\xa0Runaway, peaks with a parade. Fireworks flash while red hoods ma"
