python wordnik setup

[John Lukow]

I ran across wordnik as a resource from another program.  I have obtained an API key, and created a simple script from the documentation page:

from wordnik import *

apiUrl = 'http://api.wordnik.com/v4'

apiKey = 'key i obtained from the website here'

client = swagger.ApiClient(apiKey, apiUrl)

wordApi = WordApi.WordApi(client)

example = wordApi.getTopExample('irony')

print (example)

I get an error name 'swagger' not defined. The interpreter also does not like WordApi.

Suggestions?

Hi John!

Can you let me know what version of Python you are using? I tried this with 3.7.3 and it worked. Also, your last line should be

`print (example.text)`

to get the text of the example.

I hope this helps!

Thank you for using the Wordnik API!

Erin

Great to hear from you!  I was worried this group was no longer active.  I decided to give up manually setting up the environment in Visual Studio and just switched over to Pycharm.  Things worked better after that.  I probably had something wrong.

I have built a random word and definition function since then successfully.

I am glad you are here because there is not much on StackOverflow pertaining to wordnik.

I am working on a wrdl clone and using wordnik to determine the word and then provide definitions at the end.  I am also playing with a hangman game, that I may backward apply wordnik to, since the random word generator I used did not include definitions.

I'm struggling a little with syntax, but figuring it out.  I've only been playing with Python for about 30 days, but really like it so far!!
