Usage

You can easily import this library using:

from pynytimes import NYTAPI

Then you can simply add your API key (get your API key from The New York Times Dev Portal):

nyt = NYTAPI("Your API key", parse_dates=True)

Make sure that if you commit your code to GitHub you don't accidentially commit your API key.
