A series of scripts to generate thematic bubble lines and network files using metadata retrieved from the New York Times archive. Use a text query and explore how that query relates to the indexing of the NY Times staff.

For further explanation on what this does, go here: http://thepoliticsofsystems.net/?p=637

1. Get a New York Times search API key here: http://developer.nytimes.com/apps/mykeys

2. Put all scripts into a folder and set write permissions for everybody

3. Modify conf.php with your query and your API key

4. Run grab.php and wait - when finished,

a) to generate the bubble lines:

5. Run analyze.php (possibly modify value for $minyears) and wait

6. Modify the .R scripts to use the .csv file you just generated (possibly modify year cutoff)

7. Run .R scripts

b) to generate a network file (gexf format)

5. Run network.php and wait
