Access the API

We will start by importing different useful libraries and define our first variables for the requests.

The api main endpoint is accessible at http://anthologiagraeca.org/api

import requests
import json

url = 'http://anthologiagraeca.org/api'
parameters = {
    'format':'json'
}

data = requests.get(url, parameters).json()

The variable data gives us, in json format, the available endpoints.
