Poetree library provides an easy way to get data from PoeTree API with Python.
Installation
pip install poetree
or
pip3 install poetree
Quick tutorial
import poetree
There are five classes available:
- Poetree represents the entire PoeTree collection
- Corpus represents single corpus
- Author represents single author
- Source represents single book
- Poem represents single poem
corpus = poetree.Corpus('cs')
print('number of authors:', corpus.n_authors)
print('number of poems:', corpus.n_poems)
number of authors: 606
number of poems: 80229
get_corpora(), get_authors(), get_sources(), get_poems()
Class instance may be created directly (as in the example above) or one may use a more general class to create a number of children instances by means of get_[something]() methods. To get for instance all the authors in PoeTree.en born between 1750 and 1760:corpus = poetree.Corpus('en')
for author in corpus.get_authors(born_after=1750, born_before=1760):
print(f'{author.name} ({author.born})')
Barlow, Joel (1754)
Blake, William (1757)
Crabbe, George (1754)
Freneau, Philip Morin (1752)
Roberts, David (1757)
Wheatley, Phillis (1753)
Analogous methods in other classes are as follow:
corpus = poetree.Corpus('en')
corpus.get_authors(born_after=1750, born_before=1760)
print([x.name for x in corpus.content_['authors']])
['Barlow, Joel', 'Blake, William', 'Crabbe, George', 'Freneau, Philip Morin', 'Roberts, David', 'Wheatley, Phillis']
To iterate over all corpora, over all authors, over all their poems:
pt = poetree.Poetree()
for corpus in pt.get_corpora():
for author in corpus.get_authors():
for poem in author.get_poems():
# Do stuff...
metadata()
Each class provides metadata() method. By default it gives access to all metadata properties of the class:corpus = poetree.Corpus('de')
metadata = corpus.metadata(output='pandas')
print(metadata)
corpus desc n_authors n_poems n_lines n_types n_tokens
0 de Compiled by Klemens Bobenhausen and Benjamin H... 245 53133 1701234 678426 12482485
It can also be used to get metadata of all children instances it created using the target attribute:
corpus = poetree.Corpus('pt')
corpus.get_authors()
df = corpus.metadata(target='authors', output='pandas')
print(df)
id_ name viaf wiki country born died n_poems corpus

get_body(), get_all()
When Poem instance is created, only its metadata are fetched from API. To get the body (lines, words and their annotation) one needs to call get_body() method first.poem = poetree.Poem(id_=1, lang='cs')
body = poem.get_body()
print(body[0])
{'id_': 1, 'id': 0, 'id_stanza': 1, 'text': 'Tvá loď jde po vysokém moři,', 'part': False, 'words': [{'id_': 1, 'id': 1, 'id_sentence': 1, 'head': 2, 'deprel': 'det', 'form': 'Tvá', 'lemma': 'tvůj', 'upos': 'DET', 'xpos': 'PSFS1-S1------1', 'feats': 'Case=Nom|Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem'}, {'id_': 2, 'id': 2, 'id_sentence': 1, 'head': 3, 'deprel': 'nsubj', 'form': 'loď', 'lemma': 'loď', 'upos': 'NOUN', 'xpos': 'NNFS1-----A----', 'feats': 'Case=Nom|Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Polarity=Pos'}, {'id_': 3, 'id': 3, 'id_sentence': 1, 'head': 0, 'deprel': 'root', 'form': 'jde', 'lemma': 'jít', 'upos': 'VERB', 'xpos': 'VB-S---3P-AA---', 'feats': 'Mood=Ind|Number=Sing|Person=3|Polarity=Pos|Tense=Pres|VerbForm=Fin|Voice=Act'}, {'id_': 4, 'id': 4, 'id_sentence': 1, 'head': 6, 'deprel': 'case', 'form': 'po', 'lemma': 'po', 'upos': 'ADP', 'xpos': 'RR--6----------', 'feats': 'AdpType=Prep|Case=Loc'}, {'id_': 5, 'id': 5, 'id_sentence': 1, 'head': 6, 'deprel': 'amod', 'form': 'vysokém', 'lemma': 'vysoký', 'upos': 'ADJ', 'xpos': 'AANS6----1A----', 'feats': 'Case=Loc|Degree=Pos|Gender=Neut|Number=Sing|Polarity=Pos'}, {'id_': 6, 'id': 6, 'id_sentence': 1, 'head': 3, 'deprel': 'obl', 'form': 'moři', 'lemma': 'moře', 'upos': 'NOUN', 'xpos': 'NNNS6-----A----', 'feats': 'Case=Loc|Gender=Neut|Number=Sing|Polarity=Pos'}, {'id_': 7, 'id': 7, 'id_sentence': 1, 'head': 9, 'deprel': 'punct', 'form': ',', 'lemma': ',', 'upos': 'PUNCT', 'xpos': 'Z:-------------', 'feats': '_'}]}
To retrieve both the metadata and the body of the poem at the same time, there is a method get_all()
poem = poetree.Poem(id_=1, lang='cs')
metadata_and_body = poem.get_all()
