Error using from_parameter

[asebold]

The code below errors out:

try:
    newsapi = NewsApiClient(api_key='my key')
    everything = newsapi.get_everything(q='bitcoin',from_parameter='2018-08-01',sources='us',language='en',page_size=100)
except Exception as e:
    print(e)

This is what the exception prints:

get_everything() got an unexpected keyword argument 'from_parameter'

I'm using Python3.6 on Ubuntu 16.04.

Looking through the code, I see the real parameter is "from_param". On the NewsAPI.org site they list an example using "from_parameter". This should be updated. https://newsapi.org/docs/client-libraries/python

Hi @asebold ,

Thanks for pointing this out. As this is not actually an official library, I am not part of the NewsAPI team and do not manage the documentation. @News-API-gh, could you guys take a look at correcting this or if necessary, we can rename the param in the library ?

Thanks, Matt

I think this issue can be safely closed for now as @News-API-gh already updated their documentation for keyword argument to from_param in the documentation

This is still not working. When I add the from_param I get the newsapi.newsapi_exception.NewsAPIException

It would be helpful if you could give the traceback you got when trying to run it.

Yes, i found the issue. The news api does not let me filter older news with the free plan. Thank you, you can close the issue. On Mon 8.
