WolframAlpha Client

v1.3

Python Client built against the Wolfram|Alpha v2.0 API.

Original project is hosted on bitbucket.

Installation

• Clone git archive via the following command;

  git clone https://github.com/bmikolaj/wolframalpha.git wolframalpha

• Change directories via cd wolframalpha

• Run the following command to install;

  sudo python setup.sh install

Usage

Basic usage is pretty simple. Create the client with your App ID (request from Wolfram Alpha);

import wolframalpha
client = wolframalpha.Client(app_id)

Then, you can send queries, which return Result objects;

res = client.query('temperature in Washington, DC on October 3, 2012')

If you need to need to specify an assumption, you can do the following;

res = client.query('1s + 1s','*C.s-_*Unit-')

This will assume s is a unit instead of a varaible

Result objects have pods attribute (a Pod is an answer from Wolfram Alpha);

for pod in res.pods:
    do_something_with(pod)

You may also query for simply the pods which have 'Result' titles;

print(next(res.results).text)
