Python Package

This python package provides two main pieces of functionality. The first allows you to check the status of a Wikipedia dump and the second allows you to download specific parts of a Wikipedia dump (called jobs).

Checking Status

from kwnlp_dump_downloader import get_dump_status
wp_yyyymmdd = "20200920"
wds = get_dump_status(wp_yyyymmdd)
print(wds.report())

Downloading Jobs

from kwnlp_dump_downloader import download_jobs
wp_yyyymmdd = "20200920"
wd_yyyymmdd = "20200921"
data_path = "/path/where/data/should/live"
jobs_to_download = ["pagetable", "articlesdump"]
download_jobs(wp_yyyymmdd, wd_yyyymmdd, data_path=data_path, jobs_to_download=jobs_to_download)

Any of the jobs listed in the status report above can be specified in the jobs_to_download kwarg. In addition, there are two special job strings,

• pageviewcomplete: used to download monthly pageviews (e.g. pageviews-20200901-user.bz2)
• wikidata: used to download Wikidata json dumps (e.g. wikidata-20200921-all.json.bz2)
