Examples

---

Before anything is done you must set your apikey.

SearchQuery sq = new SearchQuery("pizza",null);
sq.setAPIKEY("your api key goes here");

Every SearchQuery will return an array full of DplaItems. You can then gain access to each items information from there.

You can execute a search with:

• Just a Search Query
• Search Query & SearchOptions
• Just SearchOptions

If you only want one, then just pass null for the other.

Execute a simple search query WITHOUT any SearchOptions.

SearchQuery sq = new SearchQuery("pizza",null);
sq.setAPIKEY("your api key goes here");
DplaItem[] result = sq.search();
for (DplaItem dp : result) {
System.out.println(dp.getSourceResource().getTitle());
}

Execute a search query with some SearchOptions

SearchOptions so = new SearchOptions();
so.description="history";
SearchQuery sq = new SearchQuery("pizza",null);
sq.setAPIKEY("your api key goes here");
DplaItem[] result = sq.search();
for (DplaItem dp : result) {
System.out.println(dp.getSourceResource().getTitle());
}
