Hi guys! I’m a researcher specializing in applied linguistics. I’m trying to collect your articles with specific words.

 

Could you help me with these issues:

 

1. When I tried to get this content:

 

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2013/mar/28/no-charges-eric-joyce

 

I’ve got this error massage: 

 

"message":"You are not permitted to access this content via your current user tier."

 

My user tier is “Developer” and I have a developer key.

 

How many articles have got restricted access for developers? This is very important for statistical results. Parsing html pages is a very strained approach (((

 

 

2. I’ve found very strange article. Here it is:

 

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/poll/2013/apr/05/tony-blair-gordon-brown-poll

 

How can I get articles like it via api?

 

Thanks a lot in advance.

 

Best wishes

Svetlana

Hi Svetlana,

On the developer tier there is currently (at this time) 1837304.The total number of indexed articles is 2027289
Therefore about 90% of indexed articles are available on the developer tier.
 
We don't have the rights to distribute the other ones, so you need to ask for a commercial key to be able to access it through the api.

The /politics/poll/2013/apr/05/tony-blair-gordon-brown-poll is not the developer tiers but available on the others tiers. However we are currently migrating polls from our old frontend (that's why it is display may look a bit strange) to the new frontend and as a result the body of poll articles are currently not available.

Please let us know if you have more questions.

Hope this help,

Mariot
