Korp API for Python

Library for Python to use Korp API. This library provides an easy way to query Korp systems for language corpora.

Installation

sudo pip install korp

Usage

You can initialise Korp with either service_name (språkbanken, kielipankki or GT) or url to your Korp’s API interface such as https://korp.csc.fi/cgi-bin/korp.cgi .

An example for getting all concordances for North Sami corpora in Giellatekno Korp for query [pos=”A”] “go” [pos=”N”].

from korp.korp import Korp
korppi = Korp(service_name="GT") #uses Giellatekno, "kielipankki" and "språkbanken" are other possible service_name values
corpora = korppi.list_corpora("SME") #lists corpora returns the ones starting with the North Sami language code
number_of_results, concordances = korppi.all_concordances('[pos="A"] "go" [pos="N"]', corpora)

More information

See the Wiki for a complete description or my blog for a real life Korp example.
