multi_repeat function is not working

[risto-trajanov]

My code

from gdeltdoc import Filters, near, repeat, GdeltDoc, multi_repeat

f = Filters(
    start_date = "2017-05-01",
    end_date = "2022-02-02",
    num_records = 250,
    keyword = "low carbon",
    near = near(10, 'emission', 'airport'),
    repeat = multi_repeat([(2, "airline"), (3, "airport")], "AND")
)
gd = GdeltDoc()

# Search for articles matching the filters
articles = gd.article_search(f)

The output:

TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
~\AppData\Local\Temp\ipykernel_1576\752362330.py in <module>
      2 
      3 # Search for articles matching the filters
----> 4 articles = gd.article_search(f)
      5 
      6 # Get a timeline of the number of articles matching the filters

~\.conda\envs\newEnv\lib\site-packages\gdeltdoc\api_client.py in article_search(self, filters)
     77         """
     78         articles = self._query("artlist", filters.query_string)
---> 79         if "articles" in articles:
     80             return pd.DataFrame(articles["articles"])
     81         else:

TypeError: argument of type 'int' is not iterable

Do you have an idea what is wrong?

Hi @risto-trajanov.

Thanks for your patience with this.

There was a bug in generating the query string with multi_repeat which was fixed in #12.

I've just released version 1.3.2, so if you update to that your query should now work:

(venv) gdelt-doc-api (main) e1b2bf8 $ ipython
Python 3.9.4 (default, May 10 2021, 13:51:57)
Type 'copyright', 'credits' or 'license' for more information
IPython 8.2.0 -- An enhanced Interactive Python. Type '?' for help.
