Overview

The New York Times Developer Network provides a rich set of APIs. After signing up for an API key, the Article Search API was chosen among the New York Times APIs. Using this, an interface was constructed in R to read in the JSON data, and it was tidied and transformed into an R data frame.

I decided to use the key for the Article Search API because, for my DATA 606 Project, I will be analyzing an Air Quality and Air Toxins data set, and I need to conduct a literature review to support my research discussion. Therefore, this was a great opportunity to complete both task at once.

The necessary libraries are:

library(jsonlite)
library(tidyr)
library(dplyr)
library(stringr)
library(kableExtra)

---

Retrieving the Data from the API

The Times APIs have two rate limits on calls. They have a limit of 4,000 requests per day and 10 requests per minute. While it is unlikely to hit this limit in this assignment, it is still recommended that retrieved data be saved. Therefore, the following is an initial search to determine how many search results were found that matches the criteria.

# My API key
apikey <- "?api-key=[MY API KEY]"

# Search for articles related to air pollution
query <- "&q=air%20pollution"

# Time period for relevant articles
start <- "&begin_date=20180101"
end <- "&end_date=20190327"
sort <- "&sort=relevance"

# Get initial results from /articlesearch.json
AirQualArticles <- fromJSON(paste0("https://api.nytimes.com/svc/search/v2/articlesearch.json", apikey, query, start, end, sort))

---

JSON to Data frame

From the pull, it returned 451 hits that fits the search criteria. To retrieve all the articles, a for-loop was created to extract the articles over the 45 pages, transformed into a data frame and stored as a .csv file.

# Initializing the data frame
AirQualArticlesDF <- c()

lastpage <- floor((AirQualArticles$response$meta$hits)/10)

for(i in 0 : lastpage){
  page <- paste0("&page=", i)
  try({
    articles <- fromJSON(paste0("https://api.nytimes.com/svc/search/v2/articlesearch.json", apikey, query, start, end, sort, page))
    docs <- articles$response$docs
    headline <- articles$response$docs$headline
    
    # The content needed
    docs <- select(docs, web_url, lead_paragraph, abstract, source, pub_date, document_type, news_desk, section_name, subsection_name, type_of_material, word_count)
    headline <- select(headline, main, print_headline)
    
    # create the data frame
    docs <- data.frame(docs, stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
    headline<-data.frame(headline, stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
    docs <- cbind(docs, headline)
    
    # combine into one frame
    AirQualArticlesDF <- rbind(AirQualArticlesDF, docs)
    
    # NY Times recommends pausing for at least 6 seconds before pulling another page
    Sys.sleep(6)
    }, silent = TRUE)
}

# Saving to a .csv
write.csv(AirQualArticlesDF, file = "C:/PATH/TO/SAVE/AirQualArticlesDF.csv")

My home office sat in a garden of roses and bougainvillea, but it was shrouded in unremitting haze. The city’s air in those days was so contaminated by lead, ozone and other chemicals that birds dropped dead in the smog — and I developed a wheezing cough after games of basketball. On a rare blue-sky day more than a year after I arrived, I gazed, for the first time, at one of the snow-capped volcanoes that rise above the city. Hard to believe: 17,694-foot Popocatépetl had loomed there all along. The next day, the smog returned. I would see the volcano only once more before I moved away.

The new fleet followed a 2016 deal between Italian energy company Enel and Chinese manufacturer BYD to test two pilot buses which proved to considerably cut costs in comparison with diesel vehicles.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/16/opinion/climate-change-parenting.html	I cried two times when my daughter was born. First for joy, when after 27 hours of labor the little feral being we’d made came yowling into the world, and the second for sorrow, holding the earth’s newest human and looking out the window with her at the rows of cars in the hospital parking lot, the strip mall across the street, the box stores and drive-throughs and drainage ditches and asphalt and waste fields that had once been oak groves. A world of extinction and catastrophe, a world in which harmony with nature had long been foreclosed. My partner and I had, in our selfishness, doomed our daughter to life on a dystopian planet, and I could see no way to shield her from the future.

Rathmann is an acclaimed children’s book author — “Officer Buckle and Gloria” won a Caldecott Medal in 1996 — and their apartment in San Francisco had become cluttered with her illustrations. They picked out the 540-acre ranch in Nicasio mostly for its large barn, which they planned to remake into a spacious studio. Wick, a former construction foreman — they met when he oversaw a renovation of her bathroom — was eager to tackle the project. He knew the area well, having grown up one town away, in Woodacre, where he had what he describes as a “free-range” childhood: little supervision and lots of biking, rope-swinging and playing in the area’s fields and glens.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/26/world/asia/china-economic-growth.html	The United States has been the world’s leading economy for more than a century, but China is set to surpass it in a matter of years. By some measures, it already has. And yet many Americans have barely begun to think about what this means. That’s not entirely a surprise. There’s a lot going on out there, especially since the election of President Trump. Sometimes, though, the biggest stories are the ones that sneak up on us when we’re distracted. Almost a year in the making, and with collaboration from nearly all corners of the newsroom and correspondents on six continents, this series, China Rules, explores how and why China is changing the world.	The West was sure the Chinese approach would not work. It just had to wait. It’s still waiting.

More Defined

Since I am interested in very specific effects that a few particular pollutants can cause, the following are some keywords which can help further narrow my results within the pull of air pollution:

• carbon monoxide / ozone
• temperature increase / heat wave
• acid rain / smog

Let’s build a data frame with the respective URL to these articles that match well.

Detect String Pattern

# The keywords to detect
pattern <- c("carbon monoxide", "ozone", "temperature increase", "heat wave", "smog", "acid rain")

# Initializing
LeadPara <- c()
abstract <- c()

for(i in 1 : length(pattern)){
  dLeadPara <- str_detect(AirQualArticlesDF$lead_paragraph, pattern[i])
  dabstract <- str_detect(AirQualArticlesDF$abstract, pattern[i])
  
  # Retrieving the URL, Lead Paragraph and Abstract with a matched keyword
  a <- cbind(AirQualArticlesDF$web_url[which(dLeadPara)], 
      AirQualArticlesDF$lead_paragraph[which(dLeadPara)])
  b <- cbind(AirQualArticlesDF$web_url[which(dabstract)], 
      AirQualArticlesDF$abstract[which(dabstract)])
  
  # Combine into one frame
  LeadPara <- rbind(LeadPara, a)
  abstract <- rbind(abstract, b)
}

# Idenfying the distinct search as more than one keywords could have matched resulting in duplicates
LikelyArticles <- distinct(data.frame(rbind(LeadPara, abstract)))
names(LikelyArticles) <- c("URL", "Exerpt")

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/23/magazine/what-does-it-take-to-stop-accepting-pollution-as-the-price-of-progress.html	The first time I heard the phrase “pollution refugee” was more than two decades ago, when I lived in Mexico City. My home office sat in a garden of roses and bougainvillea, but it was shrouded in unremitting haze. The city’s air in those days was so contaminated by lead, ozone and other chemicals that birds dropped dead in the smog — and I developed a wheezing cough after games of basketball. On a rare blue-sky day more than a year after I arrived, I gazed, for the first time, at one of the snow-capped volcanoes that rise above the city. Hard to believe: 17,694-foot Popocatépetl had loomed there all along. The next day, the smog returned. I would see the volcano only once more before I moved away.
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/14/opinion/environment-trump-epa-science.html	Last month, the Environmental Protection Agency effectively disbanded a scientific panel of experts on microscopic airborne pollutants that helped the agency figure out what level of pollutants are safe to breathe. The agency also dropped plans for a similar panel of experts to help assess another dangerous pollutant, ground-level ozone.
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/24/world/asia/china-ozone-cfc.html	XINGFU, China — Last month, scientists disclosed a global pollution mystery: a surprise rise in emissions of an outlawed industrial gas that destroys the atmosphere’s protective ozone layer.
