I need to parse some json data I got from an API in Processing and got here. Would be really nice to see some sort of documentation for your neat little library ! Can you please direct me to more learning resources for the JSON library ? Thanks

[Offtopic] Great talk at decoded'11 btw!

Hello there, I'm brand new at this…
Why is it that processing does not seem to accept:
String baseURL = &ldquo http://api.nytimes.com/svc/search/v1/article”;” rel=”nofollow”>;http://api.nytimes.com/svc/search/v1/article”;
And P seem to believe the '//' is a comment? (unexpected char'/')
Anybody could help?

Hello —

Thanks for another great tutorial. I posted this question in the NYT API forum as well.

Do you know if there is any way to get the API to return a few of the words surrounding the keyword?

Just got this working, had to reduce the date range as I believe I was hitting the request limits set by the API key. Try:
int s = 2000; // – Start year (this can go as far back as 1981)
int e = 2009;

and it should start working if you were getting the java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 403 error

Yes, baseURL seems to have changed once I posted.
I tried putting in each line. Your baseURL has new characters in it "" I put them in but nothing changed.

The problem line is:
String baseURL = "http://api.nytimes.com/svc/search/v1/article";
or
String baseURL = "http://api.nytimes.com/svc/search/v1/article";

But WOW – I tried something else which worked.
I hand typed EVERY CHARACTER back in and it solved the problem!!
It has something to do with me cutting and pasting from your tutorial!! Must be extra invisible characters.
I really appreciate your time and attention.
I am so excited about your work. Thank you for your tutorial. Best, Jilly

Hi Jer, I've tried that and it didn't change anything. I used:

import org.json.*;

String baseURL = “http://api.nytimes.com/svc/search/v1/article&rdqu…

String apiKey = “820151880ac5d2227033d9d1a48451cf:13:34125204”;

void setup() {

};

void draw() {

};

Hi,

The second }; at the bottom of the sketch is a typo - I've removed it from the post. Try it without that?
