Get article text from The Guardian API

Question

I have a problem getting the article text from the news API from The Guardian. I have a URL which is something like this: http://content.guardianapis.com/search?section=technology&api-key=MYKEY and I get a response that looks like this:

{
"response": {
    "status": "ok",
    "userTier": "developer",
    "total": 54530,
    "startIndex": 1,
    "pageSize": 10,
    "currentPage": 1,
    "pages": 5453,
    "orderBy": "newest",
    "results": [{
        "type": "article",
        "sectionId": "technology",
        "webTitle": "Net neutrality has its day in court – with lawyers, Christians and the Cheshire Cat",

        "webUrl": "http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/dec/05/net-neutrality-has-its-day-in-court-with-lawyers-christians-and-the-cheshire-cat",

        "sectionName": "Technology"
    }, {
        "type": "article",
        "sectionId": "technology",
        "webTitle": "Five things we love: from a school-proof tablet to a ghostly Serbian bicycle",
        "webPublicationDate": "2015-12-05T10:00:02Z",

        "apiUrl": "http://content.guardianapis.com/technology/2015/dec/05/five-things-we-love",
        "sectionName": "Technology"
    }, {
        "type": "article",
        "sectionId": "technology",
        "webTitle": "Don’t listen to those who try to own the definition of a video game",
        "webPublicationDate": "2015-12-04T12:00:21Z",
        "id": "technology/2015/dec/04/video-games-gaming-dudegamers",
        "webUrl": "http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/dec/04/video-games-gaming-dudegamers",
        "apiUrl": "http://content.guardianapis.com/technology/2015/dec/04/video-games-gaming-dudegamers",
        "sectionName": "Technology"
    }]
}
}

and that doesn't include the article text, only a URL to the news page. My question is how do I get the article text?

Answer 1

use show-fields key and bodyText key value to your URL then you will get content.

e.g: show-fields=BodyText

http://content.guardianapis.com/search?order-by=newest&show-fields=bodyText&q=politics&api-key=test
