This is a Processing sketch which uses live data from the NYT Article Search API to create a "Texts from Hillary" meme. More about why (or whether) Bill got more mentions here: http://dataforradicals.com/texts-from-hillary

Texts From Hillary meme using NYT API

// is a function in the blprnt.nytimes library that's already
// been written for us

// "begin_date" and "end_date" are specific keys we can use with the NYT API.
