Manual:Pywikibot/Wikidata/lb

This page is a translated version of the page Manual:Pywikibot/Wikidata and the translation is 29% complete.

This page explains how to create python bots on Wikidata using the basic pywikibot library.

If you just want to run some scripts without writing a line of Python, see the included Wikidata scripts.

Caution:

The methods and results may be changed in the future, as Wikibase evolves.

Pywikibot supports lexical data objects like Lexemes with release 7.2 and above.

Configuration

To start contributing/testing using your bot's account you must add the following to your user-config.py :

Production site

usernames['wikidata']['wikidata'] = 'YourBot'

Testing site

usernames['wikidata']['test'] = 'YourBot'

Beispill

see Wikidata:Creating a bot for an extended documentation. pywikibot core supports most Wikibase features already, e.g., qualifiers, sources, properties with item, coordinate, time, and string type.

import pwb  # only needed if you haven't installed the framework as side-package
import pywikibot
site = pywikibot.Site('wikipedia:en')  # any site will work, this is just an example
page = pywikibot.Page(site, 'Douglas Adams')
item = pywikibot.ItemPage.fromPage(page)  # this can be used for any page object
# you can also define an item like this
repo = site.data_repository()  # this is a DataSite object
item = pywikibot.ItemPage(repo, 'Q42')  # This will be functionally the same as the other item we defined

item.get()  # you need to call it to access any data.
sitelinks = item.sitelinks
aliases = item.aliases
if 'en' in item.labels:
    print('The label in English is: ' + item.labels['en'])
if item.claims:
    if 'P31' in item.claims: # instance of
        print(item.claims['P31'][0].getTarget())
        print(item.claims['P31'][0].sources[0])  # let's just assume it has sources.

# Edit an existing item
item.editLabels(labels={'en': 'Douglas Adams'}, summary='Edit label')
item.editDescriptions(descriptions={'en': 'English writer'}, summary='Edit description')
item.editAliases(aliases={'en': ['Douglas Noel Adams', 'another alias']})
item.setSitelink(sitelink={'site': 'enwiki', 'title': 'Douglas Adams'}, summary='Set sitelink')
item.removeSitelink(site='enwiki', summary='Remove sitelink')

# You can also make this all in one time:
data = {'labels': {'en': 'Douglas Adams'},
        'descriptions': {'en': 'English writer'},
        'aliases': {'en': ['Douglas Noel Adams', 'another alias'], 'de': ['Douglas Noel Adams']},
        'sitelinks': [{'site': 'enwiki', 'title': 'Douglas Adams'}]}
item.editEntity(data, summary='Edit item')
