class web.app.services.api_wolfram.waAPI.waAPI(key=None)

Bases: object

full_results(response_format=None, key=None, query=None, pods_format='mathml')

Calls the Wolfram|Alpha API and returns a dictionary of the search results

Parameters:

• response_format (str, optional) – the format that the API uses for its response, includes JSON (.json) and XML. Defaults to ‘.xml’
• key (str, optional) – the developer key. Defaults to key given when the waAPI class was initialized
• query (str, optional) – the query string
• pods_format (str, optional) – format of the result’s pods. It must be one from ‘mathml’ or ‘plaintex’. Defaults to ‘mathml’

Returns:

a json containing the query result from Wolfram|Alpha API

Return type:

result (json)
