Result class

class querier.Result

Multi value result returned by the querier.Connection class.

To iterate through the entries, use a python for-loop:

import querier as qr

with qr.Connection(database_name, credentials_file) as con:
    result = con.extract(f)
    for entry in result:
        # Process entry (type: dict)

Warning

If the Connection object used to extract the Result is closed, the result object becomes invalid and will return 0 entries:

import querier as qr

with qr.Connection(database_name, credentials_file) as con:
    result = con.extract(f)

for entry in result:
    # Execution will never enter this loop because the Connection object was
    # closed by the 'with' keyword

close()

Closes the result.

The result becomes invalid and won’t return any entries when iterated.

limit(qty)

Limits the number of entries for this result.

If qty is:

• <= 0, the result will return all the entries that matched the filter.

• > 0, the result will return max(qty, number of entries that matched) entries

Parameters:

qty (int) – maximum number of entries.

Return type:

Result

Returns:

Result with limited number of entries.

Examples

This snippet will iterate between 0 and 100 entries (depending how many entries matched the filter):

f = qr.Filter()

# Limits the extraction result to 100 entries
result = con.extract(f).limit(100)

for entry in result:
    # Process entry
