Few files are getting download than actual numbers

[Harish-Chandra Dubey]

Dear Users, 

I am new to FreeSound API. I tried to download the audio for a search term. There are over 100 files with that search term, but I am not able to download all. Only few, approx. 20 are getting downloaded. I am trying to download preview_versions. What could be the glitch here. Thanks!

Code snippet is below:

results2 = client.text_search(query="crying baby",fields="id,name,previews")

print("Num results:", results2.count)

for sound in results2:

    sound.retrieve_preview("FreeSound_data/Crying-baby/",sound.name)

#    sound.retrieve_preview("FreeSound_data/Crying-baby/",sound.name+".mp3")

#    print(sound.id)

    print(sound.name)

Hi,

The query response is paginated (as explained here: https://freesound.org/docs/api/resources_apiv2.html#response-sound-list).

Did you iterate through the different pages? I see you're using the python client, you have examples on how to iterate pages in the python client examples file: https://github.com/MTG/freesound-python/blob/244f5d294fc02724fc10fc1f7900361188df3293/examples.py#L83-L100

Cheers,

frederic

Thank you. That was my mistake. The data downloaded was from first page only. Iterating over pages lead to download of all data.

-Best,
