        # Benzinga Python Client
        
        This is the the official documentation for Benzinga's Python Package. This package
        Is compatible with Python v3.x+. For extensive instructions, visit [Benzinga Docs](https://docs.benzinga.io/benzinga-python/)
        
        ## Getting Started
        
        The installation process varies depending on your python version and system used. 
        The basic installation instructions are as follows:
        
        ```shell
        pip install benzinga
        ```
        
        Alternatively, the package can be installed by using:
        
        ```shell
        pip3 install benzinga
        ```
        
        Once you have successfully installed the package, you can either import the 
        Financial Data module, for quantitative financial data:
        ```python
        from benzinga import financial_data
        ```
        or you can import the Benzinga News Data module, if you're looking into financial news:
        ```python
        from benzinga import news_data
        ```
        
        ## Your Key
        
        **Api Key** To initiate a class, an API key is used, for
        authentication purposes. [Contact us](https://cloud.benzinga.com/lets-talk/) if you don't yet have a key, we will take care of you!
        
        *Sample API Key (type: str) : "testkey892834789s9s8abshtuy"*
        
        ## Sample Test Financial Data Module 
        
        1. Initiating the class:
        
        ```python
        from benzinga import financial_data
        api_key = "testkey892834789s9s8abshtuy"
        fin = financial_data.Benzinga(api_key)
        ```
        
        2. A sample test run to get ratings on a stock. (Returns a JSON object):
        
        ```python
        stock_ratings = fin.ratings()
        ```
        
        3. Since `fin.ratings()` returns a JSON dict, for a better view of the dict,
        you can call the `fin.output()` method on the result. Example:
        
        ```python
        fin.output(stock_ratings)
        ```
        
        ## Sample Test News Data Module
        
        1. Initiating the class:
        
        ```python
        from benzinga import news_data
        api_key = "testkey892834789s9s8abshtuy"
        paper = news_data.News(api_key)
        ```
        
        2. A sample test run to get general news. (Returns a JSON Object)
        
        ```python
        stories = paper.news()
        ```
        
        3. Since `fin.news()` returns a JSON dict, for a better view of the dict,
        you can call the `fin.output()` method on the result. Example:
        
        ```python
        paper.output(stories)
        ```
        
        It is important to note that for both the Financial Data Module and the News Data Module, there are many **optional** parameters for the methods. Below is a detailed listing of possible methods for the Financial Data Module and the news Data Module, their method call names, arguments, and what they return.
