Ghost Filter Query examples

Filter Queries - Example Use Cases

Here are a few example use cases, these use cases combine filter with other parameters to make useful API queries. The syntax for any of this may change between now, implementation, and release - they're meant as illustrative examples :)

Fetch 3 posts with tags which match 'photo' or 'video' and aren't the post with id 5.

api.posts.browse({filter: "tags:[photo, video] + id:-5", limit="3"});

GET /api/posts?filter=tags%3A%5Bphoto%2Cvideo%5D%2Bid%3A-5&limit=3

Storytelling from Space

Storytelling from Space: Tools/Resources

This list of resources is all about acquring and processing aerial imagery. It's generally broken up in three ways: how to go about this in Photoshop/GIMP, using command-line tools, or in GIS software, depending what's most comfortable to you. Often these tools can be used in conjunction with each other.

How to use The Guardian's API to download article data for content analysis (in Python 3.x)

How to use The Guardian's API to download article data for content analysis (in Python 3.x)

The Guardian offers an API as deep and robust as the New York Times Article API when it comes to content analysis.

The Guardian's API offers more than "1.7 million pieces of content", with published items as far back as 1999. You can register as a developer here, which gets you 5,000 API hits a day and an API key that looks something like this:

zzzyyyyy-9a9z-999z-z999-9e8a83922516

The Guardian has a handy interactive explorer to interactively tweak the query parameters.

Running Ubuntu on a Macbook Air

You don't have to be a slave to OS X! Here's a guide to a sane dual-booting setup with Ubuntu 12.10 on your shiny MacBook Air. This is written and tested for a MacBook Air 5,2 (Mid 2012), but likely works the same with any modern Macbook.
