wikibase-api

wikibase-api is a Python library for simple access to the Wikibase API. It simplifies the authentication process and can be used to query and edit information on Wikidata or any other Wikibase instance.

For an simpler, object-oriented abstraction of the Wikibase API, have a look at python-wikibase.

from wikibase_api import Wikibase

wb = Wikibase()
r = wb.entity.get("Q1")
print(r)

{
  "entities": {
    "Q1": {
      # ...
    }
  },
  "success": 1,
}
