"call the olden days" - version for testing April 26th 2017

	# TROVE API TEST
	# Updates April 26th 2017
	#
	# Searches Trove (National Library of Australia) for historical articles matching input town name and search term
	# Writes results to csv file and then proceeds to read them aloud with the "say_something" method

	# CHANGES
	# This version takes the two search terms DIRECT FROM USER
	# It does not (as in previous versions) require a csv of town names...
	# The csv concept is likely to be useful in future, but for live-performance purposes it is too time consuming

SarahTaylorProject / Movie_Test_Stage_8.rb

Created April 3, 2017 10:12

a further stage of the movie API testing that has successfully written director, film, and writer data to csvs, and keeps (but separates) the funny writer roles like novels...still room for improvement though

	# April 3rd 2017, 7pm
	# This version of testing the Open Movie Database API is working well but falls down with large numbers (possibly because the API deliberately throttles our requests after a certain threshold)
	# This version incorporates feedback from the meeting, indicating that the unusual writer variations (enclosed in parentheses for some writers, e.g. J.R.R. Tolkien has 'based on the novel by') should be kept, but in a separate field...
	# The other vulnerability is in international characters - it is definitely writing them out in a strange and unusable fashion
	# BUT this does work: it outputs a list of results without splitting the strings (into "movie_api_result_unprocessed.csv")
	# AND it writes a separate file each for writers and directors, with very good handling of the unusual text within these fields (e.g. commas, parentheses)
	# A further improvement to consider adding later is a handling for parentheses in the INPUT movie titles, it looks like these might indicate foreign films, and should b

Working version of movie script that handles some errors well, and produces useful outputs (it is still vulnerable to international characters and to duplicate movie names though)

This movie code API test is working but still needs a bit of work for splitting up directors and so forth March 31st 2017

	require "csv"
	require "json"
	movie_titles = CSV.read("movies.csv").map { \|row\|
	row[1]
	}.uniq

	movie_results = movie_titles.first(10).map { \|movie_title\|
