Quickstart

The NBER class logs onto NBER.org and establishes a connection with the host. Contains a session attribute that returns a Request Session object with all the methods of the main Requests API.

>>> import requests_nber

# Establish NBER connection object.
>>> deets = {'username': 'someuser', 'password': 'XXXX'}
>>> conn = requests_nber.NBER(login=deets)

# Download the HTML of the paper with document id t1.
>>> doc_id = 't1'
>>> html = conn.html(id=doc_id)

# Download the document PDF.
>>> pdf = conn.pdf(id=doc_id, file='article.pdf')

# Download the bibliographic information.
>>> biblio = conn.ref(id=doc_id)
>>> biblio['doi']
'10.3386/t0001'
