BaseEntity#

class wikibaseintegrator.entities.baseentity.BaseEntity(api=None, title=None, pageid=None, lastrevid=None, type=None, id=None, claims=None, is_bot=None, login=None)[source]#

Bases: object

add_claims(claims, action_if_exists=ActionIfExists.APPEND_OR_REPLACE)[source]#
Parameters:

  • claims (Claim | list[Claim] | Claims) – A Claim, list of Claim or just a Claims object to add to the claims of this entity.

  • action_if_exists (ActionIfExists, default: ActionIfExists.APPEND_OR_REPLACE) – What to do when the property already has claims. Two claims are equal when they have the same property, value and qualifiers (the rank and the references are not compared). Defaults to APPEND_OR_REPLACE. APPEND_OR_REPLACE: Add the new claim if no equal claim exists. Otherwise, update the equal claim in place (same statement) instead of adding a duplicate: it takes the rank of the new claim if set (not normal), and its references if it has some (they replace the existing references). The other claims of the property are kept. MERGE_REFS_OR_APPEND: Add the new claim if no equal claim exists. Otherwise, add the references of the new claim missing from the equal claim. The other claims of the property are kept. FORCE_APPEND: Always add the new claim, even if an equal claim exists (duplicate statement). KEEP: Add the new claim only if the property has no claim yet, otherwise do nothing. REPLACE_ALL: Remove the claims of the property that are not equal to one of the new claims, then add the new claims not already present. The equal claims are kept as they are.

get_claims(property, login=None, allow_anonymous=True, is_bot=None, **kwargs)[source]#

  • allow_anonymous (bool, default: True) – Allow an anonymous request

Return type:

Self

Returns:

This entity

get_entity_url(wikibase_url=None)[source]#
Return type:

str

get_json()[source]#

To get the dict equivalent of the JSON representation of the entity.

Return type:

dict[str, str | dict[str, list]]

Returns:

write_required(base_filter, action_if_exists=ActionIfExists.REPLACE_ALL, **kwargs)[source]#
Return type:

bool
