• get_events(search_url, year, new_or_old, nation, event_type, age_group)
• get_result(search_url)

Usage:

To import, type:

import iwf

To search events, type:

search_keywords = []
client = iwf.Iwf(search_keywords)

for event in client.get_events():
  print(event)
  print(event['name'])

or

print(client.get_events(year='2018', new_or_old="new", age_group='Youth'))

to get the following results:

[{
	'name': '5th International Qatar Cup',
	'result_url': '?event_id=444',
	'location': 'QAT',
	'date': 'Dec 19, 2018'
}, {
	'name': '5th International Solidarity Championships',
	'result_url': '?event_id=445',
	'location': 'EGY',
	'date': 'Dec 08, 2018'
}, {

To get results for an event, use the following method with an url:

url = "https://iwf.sport/results/results-by-events/?event_id=486"
result = client.get_results(search_url=url)
print(result)

and you will get:
