A simple Python wrapper around the DBLP API, currently supporting author search and author and publication lookup.
Let's search for Michael Ley, DBLP maintainer. Try
>>> import dblp
>>> #do a simple author search for michael ley
>>> authors = dblp.search('michael ley')
>>> michael = authors[0]
>>> print(michael.name)
Michael Ley
>>> print(len(michael.publications))
31
If you'd like to learn more about Michael's work, you can explore his publications. All publication results are lazy-loaded, so have at it
>>> print(michael.publications[0].title) DBLP - Some Lessons Learned. >>> print(michael.publications[0].journal) PVLDB >>> print(michael.publications[0].year) 2009
More information about a publication can often be found at its ee URL - in this case, a link to the PDF
>>> print(michael.publications[0].ee) http://www.vldb.org/pvldb/2/vldb09-98.pdf
Other publication and author attributes are documented with their respective classes- just use help(). Enjoy!
