MPRester.materials.summary

Now that I have solved my mp-api version problem (using 0.35.1), the example on the docs.materialsproject.org “Querying Data” example works. It does also, however, return a depreciation warning the warning below and suggests that I use "MPRester.materials.summary " method be used installed of MPRestore.summary.search. When I tried the statement “dir(MPRester.summary)”, there was no such method as “search”. Where is this suggestion documented and is it actually implemented?

with MPRester(MAP_KEY) as mpr:
    docs = mpr.summary.search(material_ids=["mp-149", "mp-13", "mp-22526"])

Accessing summary data through MPRester.summary is deprecated. Please use MPRester.materials.summary instead.

Did you try dir(MPRester.materials.summary)?

Thank you for your help. I am consistently using a conda virtual environment and installing everything by pip (into the same python environment), but I was bitten by the problem where one can install something using pip in the shell, but the version Jupyter sees is not updated. I must admit, I still confused by this. I removed mp-api and reinstalled it within Jupyter using the escape command

!{sys.executable} -m pip install <package_name>

I have mp-api version 0.35.1 installed and the example statement works fine.

Would you be so kind as to post an example using the MPRester.materials.summary method?
