python-wikibase

python-wikibase provides an object-oriented abstraction of the Wikibase API.

The library simplifies the authentication process and can be used to query and edit information on Wikidata or any other Wikibase instance.

Example

from python_wikibase import PyWikibase

# Authenticate with Wikibase
py_wb = PyWikibase(config_path="config.json")

# Fetch item and "coordinate location" property
item = py_wb.Item().get(entity_id="item label")
prop = py_wb.Property().get(entity_id="coordinate location")

# Create new GeoLocation value
value = py_wb.GeoLocation().create(1.23, 4.56)

# Create GeoLocation claim
claim = item.claims.add(prop, value)

Installation

pip install python-wikibase

Authentication

The PyWikibase class takes the same authentication and configuration parameters as the WikibaseApi class from the wikibase-api library. See its documentation for a guide on how to authenticate with Wikibase.
