PyFT

(prounounced "pfft")

PyFT is a python API wrapper around the Financial Times Content API, v2. Access to the Financial Times API requires a key, which can be obtained at developer.ft.com.

Dependencies

This wrapper is written to be compatible with Python 3+. To install necessary dependencies, use pip and the provided requirements.txt file.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Getting Started

PyFT will look in two places for your api key. First, ~/.ft.key will be read and the contents of that file will be used for your API key. Secondly, PyFT will try to use an environment variable called FT_API_KEY. If the environment variable is present, it will override the contents of the file.

To get the data for a single piece of content on FT.com:

from pyft import FT

ft = FT()
# the id can be pulled from the slug url of an FT.com story
content = ft.get_content("6f2ca3d6-86f5-11e4-982e-00144feabdc0")
print(content)

To get all of the content that has been updated since a certain date (continuing from previous example):

updated_content = ft.get_content_notifications(updated_since="2015-01-01")

##Running Tests

You can run the tests in the home directory with the python unittest framework:

python -m unittest tests.py

How to give the path to my local key?

I want to get all the Financial Time news from a date I give. I found your API. I applied for an API key from the news site but mine is in the following folder: C:\Users\antoi\Documents\Programming\Tests\StockPredictions. So I modified the code that allows me to give my key fp = os.path.expanduser("~/.ft.key") with os.path.expanduser("~\Documents\Programming\Tests\StockPredictions\.ft.key") But it doesn't work. Indeed I changed the following: fp = os.path.expanduser("~/.ft.key") with os.path.expanduser("~\Documents\Programming\Tests\StockPredictions\.ft.key") but it didn't worked. I have the following error:
