Metaphor API Link Search

write me code that uses keyword search to search for an arbitrary link, see if that link is returned first in the results and if so get the contents

To achieve the task you've described, we need to write a Python script that uses the Metaphor API to perform a keyword search. This script will first search for an arbitrary link using a keyword-based query. Then, it will check if the desired link is the first in the returned results. If it is, the script will retrieve the contents of that link.

First, ensure you have the requests module installed in your Python environment. If not, you can install it using pip:

pip install requests

Now, let's write the Python script:

import requests
from metaphor_python import Metaphor, validate_opts, to_camel_case, to_snake_case, Result, Response, DocumentContent

# Initialize the Metaphor API client
api_key = "your_api_key_here"  # Replace with your actual Metaphor API key
metaphor = Metaphor(api_key)

def search_and_fetch_content(search_query, target_url):
    # Perform a keyword search
    options = {
        "type": "keyword",  # We are using a keyword type search
        "num_results": 10   # You can adjust the number of results you want
    }

    try:
        response = metaphor.search(search_query, **options)
    except ValueError as e:
        print(f"Invalid options or types: {e}")
        return

    # Check if the target URL is the first result
    if response.results and response.results[0].url == target_url:
        print(f"Target URL found as the first result: {target_url}")
        # Fetch the contents of the target URL
        try:
            contents = metaphor.get_contents([response.results[0].id])
            for content in contents:
                print(f"Title: {content.title}")
                print(f"Extract: {content.extract}")
                # Add additional fields as needed
        except Exception as e:
            print(f"Error fetching content: {e}")
    else:
        print("Target URL is not the first result or no results found.")

# Example usage
search_query = "Your keyword search query"
target_url = "https://example.com"  # Replace with the URL you're searching for
search_and_fetch_content(search_query, target_url)

Replace "your_api_key_here" with your actual Metaphor API key. Also, replace search_query and target_url with the keyword search query and the URL you are looking for, respectively.

This script sends a search request to the Metaphor API and checks if the first result matches the target_url. If it does, it fetches and prints the content of that URL.
