TimesResultObject instances have a field for byline (as well as author, body, date, lead_paragraph, title, etc.)<br /><br /><br />So, to get the byline of the first article result in the search below, you could do this:<br /><br /><br />String theByline = r.results[0].byline<br /><br /><br />Hope that helps!<br /><br /><br />-Jer Hi,

The TimesArticleSearchResult that you get back from any search has an array of TimesResultObject instances representing each story returned. TimesResultObject instances have a field for byline (as well as author, body, date, lead_paragraph, title, etc.)

So, to get the byline of the first article result in the search below, you could do this:

String theByline = r.results[0].byline

Hope that helps!

COULD YOU HELP ON SOMETHING VERY SIMPLE? can you tell us something super simple for non-power users; in this great example -- how do you get it to print out a field such as a byline here is your code from classes_export -- where I'm trying to get the byline. I can see the bylines with a println in process results, but cannot figure out how to print it in the main API_Classes_export. THANKS AHEAD OF TIME! // addeTimesArticleSearch s = new TimesArticleSearch(); s.addQueries("margiela"); s.addFacets("page_facet"); s.addFacetQuery("publication_year", "2001"); // added s.addFields("byline"); TimesArticleSearchResult r = s.doSearch(); TimesFacetObject[] pageFacets = r.getFacetList("page_facet"); //added //HOW TO GET THE BYLINES???? should be something with TimesResultObject println ("There were " + r.total + " articles."); println ("There were " + pageFacets[0].count + " articles on the front page"); hi.

here is your code from classes_export — where I'm trying to get the byline.

to print it in the main API_Classes_export.

THANKS AHEAD OF TIME!

// addeTimesArticleSearch s = new TimesArticleSearch();
s.addQueries("margiela");
s.addFacets("page_facet");
s.addFacetQuery("publication_year", "2001");
// added
s.addFields("byline");
TimesArticleSearchResult r = s.doSearch();
TimesFacetObject[] pageFacets = r.getFacetList("page_facet");
//added
//HOW TO GET THE BYLINES???? should be something with TimesResultObject
println ("There were " + r.total + " articles.");
println ("There were " + pageFacets[0].count + " articles on the front page");

I made a small change that others might find useful. Making addFacet, addFields, addFacetQuery, etc return this, you can chain method calls together. not very java-like, but some may find it easy to read: s.addQueries("terrorism").addFacets("page_facet").addFacetQuery("publication_year", "2001"); thanks for the great library.

end_date and begin_date are currently implemented like this:

TimesArticleSearch s = new TimesArticleSearch();
s.addExtra(”begin_date”, “20080101″);
s.addExtra(”end_date”, “20090101″);

I tried using addFacetQuery(begin_date, "20080101") and addFacetQuery(end_date, "20081230") which didn't work exactly right (every query returned 0 articles). Is there support for this?

I’m not sure about ruby – I’d check over at the NYTimes developer site.

The code is pretty rudimentary right now. I’m hoping I’ll have some time over the next little while to put it together into something a bit more cohesive.
