Freesound Forums

Hi

I have been struggling to search and download a list of sound names that I have retrieved from Freesound.
I am using the following code in Python:

keyword= "filename"
results_pager = client.text_search( query=keyword,
filter="original_filename:"+keyword,
sort="score",
fields="id,name,previews,username" )

print("Num results:", results_pager.count)
for sound in results_pager:
print (sound.name)

But for some reason it isn't working for all sound names and retrieves nothing or wrong results.

Help!

I don't understand code, so this might be completely off mark, but I don't think you can use code to search for sounds, as hard as it seems, you may just have to manually search through the results of a regular query.

Sorry I can't be more helpful.

-Sincerely

Hey, I thought you'd like to know that with the API (Application Programming Interface) you are writing code that communicates with the Freesound server to send instructions and retrieve specified data. This is really simplified but you get the idea. People use the API to write their own applications that "talk" with Freesound.

Oh, ok. Thanks.
