RS Wiki API Wrapper

RSWiki-Wrapper

RSWiki-Wrapper is an open-source Python library wrapping functionality of the RuneScape Wiki API. Its goal is to support all RuneScape Wiki API endpoints for both OldSchool RuneScape and RuneScape (aka RS3).

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

Requirements

To begin using the wrapper, you can install with pip

pip install rswiki-wrapper

The package is imported with import rswiki_wrapper or from rswiki_wrapper import Exchange.

To begin developing and testing this wrapper, set up a python environment with the prerequisites noted in requirements.txt.

Acceptable Use Policy

To interface properly with the RuneScape Wiki API, first review their acceptable use policy.

To assist in the user setup, each child class accepts a user_agent parameter. Each user should identify a method of contact which will be submitted in each request header. This allows the RuneScape Wiki staff to contact you and correct any misbehaving queries. I recommend using the format user_agent='{Project Name} - {Contact}'. The library contains a generic user agent which identifies you as using this wrapper and will warn you to use a custom user agent.

Usage

The project is written such that it exposes the full API responses for user interaction under WikiQuery.response. Users can review all aspects of the request response under this property. Each class also exposes two helpful properties:

• WikiQuery.json is a python dictionary format of the API response
• WikiQuery.content is the "useful" data returned by the query, typically formatted as a python dictionary or list of dictionaries, where applicable.

For detailed documentation on the various API endpoints exposed and sample usage, see the project documentation

API Endpoints

For information on the various acceptable routes, queries, and optional arguments see the following documentation:

• MediaWiki API for all requests related to RuneScape wiki. This endpoint is valid for both OldSchool RuneScape and RuneScape.
• Weird Gloop API for requests to use the WeirdGloop API, which provides data for the RuneScape Grand Exchange and RuneScape Information.
• Real-Time API for access to real-time Grand Exchange data. This endpoint is valid only for OldSchool RuneScape.

Tests

Testing for this project is performed using PyTest. All tests are written in /tests and should confirm the .content is formatted correctly, confirm the response data matches the expected value (if possible) and confirm the response keys match the expected output format.
