Examples

>>> import asyncio
>>> from asyncurban import UrbanDictionary
>>> loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()

# session and loop are optional kwargs for your convenience if
# You already have them defined for your project
>>> urban = UrbanDictionary(loop=loop)

# Get a word definition
>>> word = loop.run_until_complete(urban.get_word('dank'))
>>> word.definition
'Also an expression requently used by stoners and hippies for something of high quality.'

# Get a random word
>>> random_word = loop.run_until_complete(urban.get_random())
>>> print(random_word)
Orgasm
>>> random_word.definition
"When a woman reaches their 'climax'. It is the most desirable feeling EVER. Its like an explosion inside the body that feels so good."

# You can even search for X matching words and get a list
# The default is 3 but can be specified
>>> word_list = loop.run_until_complete(urban.search('test', limit=5))
>>> print(word_list)
[<Word word=test defid=708924>, <Word word=test defid=2957653>, <Word word=test defid=2573364>, <Word word=test defid=1876232>, <Word word=test defid=1662552>]
>>> word_list[0].definition
'A process for testing things'
