for article in client.articles.iter("gdpr"):
print(f"Art. {article.article_number:>3} {article.title or '(untitled)'}")
Fetch a specific article and display it
article = client.articles.get("gdpr", 17)
print(f"Article {article.article_number}: {article.title}")
print("=" * 60)
for para in article.paragraphs:
print(f"\n({para.paragraph_number}) {para.content}")
Find all articles tagged with a specific tag
tagged = [
a for a in client.articles.iter("gdpr")
if "data-breach" in a.tags
]
print(f"{len(tagged)} articles tagged 'data-breach'")
Cross-reference related articles
article = client.articles.get("gdpr", 33) # Personal data breach notification
related = client.articles.related("gdpr", 33)
print(f"Art. 33 is related to {related.meta.total} other articles:")
for r in related.data:
print(f" Art. {r.article_number}: {r.title}")
Collect all articles into a dict for fast lookup
articles_by_number = {
a.article_number: a
for a in client.articles.iter("cra")
}
print(articles_by_number[10].title)
Use iter() when you need every article. Use list() when you only need one page or want to control pagination yourself.
