API

It is possible to query selected applications via an API. API access requires user authentication at all times, which holds also for applications where this would not be necessary for their use via the standard user web interface. For the authentication, personal access tokens should be used.

Getting your personal access token

  1. Log in to the CNC web portal.
  2. Go to your user account, “Personal access tokens” section. Click on “New”, select the requested validity and confirm by “OK”.
  3. Copy the token, it will be displayed only once.

It is possible to create any number of personal access tokens. The tokens can be deleted. After a token expires, it is necessary to create a new one.

Use

Token is sent in a HTTP request to https://korpus.cz/login using POST in a personal_access_token parameter.

A session cookie will be returned that should be used in every other request. It may be useful to save the session cookie and use it repeatedly within the next few hours.

Every application has an API tailored to its needs. Individual API usage manuals:

Every application also imposes its own limits. After exceeding them, there is a risk of blocking access to the API.

  • KonText: max. 12 requests per minute and max. 5000 requests per day
  • Treq: max. 30 requests per minute and max. 5000 requests per day

Usage examples

1) curl and Treq API

#!/usr/bin/env bash
 
# Log in
curl --cookie cookies.txt --cookie-jar cookies.txt -X POST -F 'personal_access_token=0a1b2c3d4e5f6-abc012...' 'https://korpus.cz/login'
# Query Treq
curl --cookie cookies.txt --cookie-jar cookies.txt 'https://treq.korpus.cz/api/v1?from=cs&to=en&multiword=false&regex=true&lemma=true&ci=true&pkgs[0]=SYNDICATE&pkgs[1]=CORE&query=pravda&order=perc&asc=false'

2) Python and KonText API

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import pickle, requests
 
personal_access_token = '0a1b2c3d4e5f6-abc012...'
cookies_file = 'cookies.pickle'
 
with requests.Session() as s:
    # Load cookies
    try
        with open(cookies_file, 'rb') as f:
            s.cookies.update(pickle.load(f))
    except FileNotFoundError:
        pass
 
    # Log in
    r = s.post('https://korpus.cz/login', data={'personal_access_token': personal_access_token})
 
    # Creating a concordance query

    print(r.json())
 
    # Store cookies
    with open(cookies_file, 'wb') as f:
        pickle.dump(s.cookies, f)
