twingly-search-api-java

Java client for Twingly Search API (previously known as Twingly Analytics API). Twingly is a blog search service that provides a searchable API known as Twingly Search API.

Example usage

import com.twingly.search.*;
public class Test{
    public static void main(String[] args){
        String apiKey = "API_KEY";
        // create Client object using your API key
        Client client = new UrlConnectionClient(apiKey);
        // Create Query object using QueryBuilder for results in English published from startTime to endTime
        Query query = QueryBuilder.create("spotify").documentLanguage(Language.English).startTime(startTime).endTime(endTime).build();
        Result result = client.makeRequest(query);
        // Get the total number of matches returned
        int numberOfMatchesReturned = result.getNumberOfMatchesReturned();
        // Get the total number of matches to the search query
        int numberOfMatchesTotal = result.getNumberOfMatchesTotal();
        // Get number of seconds it took to execute query
        double secondsElapsed = result.getSecondsElapsed();
        for (Post p : result.getPosts()){
            System.out.println(p.getUrl());             // print url for each post
            System.out.println(p.getTitle());           // print title for each post
        }
    }
}

A Query object can be reused for several requests.

To learn more about the features of this client, check out the example code that can be found in example.

To learn more about the capabilities of the API, please read the Twingly Search API documentation.

API key from Java system properties

Additionally, you can create Client object with API key from Java system properties (property name is TWINGLY_SEARCH_KEY):

import com.twingly.search.client.*;
public class Test{
    public static void main(String[] args){
        Client client = new UrlConnectionClient(); // create client object with API key from java system property
    }
}

To do so, you will need to run Java with property. For example, run your own jar file with twingly search key property:

java -jar myJar.jar -DTWINGLY_SEARCH_KEY=some_key_value

Exception handling

Given exception hierarchy is now available:

• TwinglySearchException - super class for any TwinglySearch-related exception
  • TwinglySearchServerException - super class for all server exceptions
    • TwinglySearchServerAPIKeyDoesNotExistException - should be thrown when no API key was found
    • TwinglySearchServerAPIKeyUnauthorizedException - should be thrown when API key is not authorized for any action
    • TwinglySearchServerServiceUnavailableException - should be thrown when service is not available

Requirements

• API key, contact sales via twingly.com to get one
• Java:
  • v 1.7
  • v 1.8

Development

Tests

Make sure you have all the dependencies

gradlew assemble

Run the tests

gradlew check

Generate coverage report, using JaCoCo. Note that you need to run the tests first.

gradlew jacocoTestReport

open build/jacocoHtml/index.html

JavaDoc generation

To generate java docs just run gradle task javadoc:

gradlew javadoc

This will save javadocs in docs folder under build-folder.

One-jar generation

To generate one fat jar library with all compile dependencies just run gradle task generateOneJar:

gradlew generateOneJar

This will save JAR file with all needed dependencies in build/libs/ with -all suffix. (like twingly-search-api-java-all-0.0.1.jar)
