dblp-python

A simple Python wrapper around the DBLP API, currently supporting author search and author and publication lookup.

Example

Let's search for Michael Ley, DBLP maintainer. Try :

>>> import dblp
>>> #do a simple author search for michael ley
>>> authors = dblp.search('michael ley')
>>> michael = authors[0]
>>> print(michael.name)
Michael Ley
>>> print(len(michael.publications))
31

If you'd like to learn more about Michael's work, you can explore his publications. All publication results are lazy-loaded, so have at it :

>>> print(michael.publications[0].title)
DBLP - Some Lessons Learned.
>>> print(michael.publications[0].journal)
PVLDB
>>> print(michael.publications[0].year)
2009

More information about a publication can often be found at its ee URL - in this case, a link to the PDF :

>>> print(michael.publications[0].ee)
http://www.vldb.org/pvldb/2/vldb09-98.pdf

Other publication and author attributes are documented with their respective classes- just use help(). Enjoy!

['Pingping Sun', 'Xian Tan', 'Sijia Guo', 'Jingbo Zhang', 'Bojian Sun', 'Ning Du', 'Han Wang', 'Hui Sun']
>>> papers[0].title
'Protein Function Prediction Using Function Associations in Protein-Protein Interaction Network.'
>>> papers[0].mdate
