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: Each class has properties corresponding to the keys returned by API. To get for instance the number of authors and the number of poems in PoeTree.cs:
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:
Objects created by get_[something]() are also stored in their parent object's property data_[something] for later use:
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()
