wikibaseintegrator.wbi_helpers.edit_entity(data, id=None, type=None, baserevid=None, summary=None, clear=False, is_bot=False, tags=None, site=None, title=None, max_request_size=None, **kwargs)[source]#

Creates a single new Wikibase entity and modifies it with serialised information.

Parameters:

  • data (dict) – The serialized object that is used as the data source. A newly created entity will be assigned an ‘id’.

  • id (str | None, default: None) – The identifier for the entity, including the prefix. Use either id or site and title together.

  • type (str | None, default: None) – Set this to the type of the entity to be created. One of the following values: form, item, lexeme, property, sense

  • baserevid (int | None, default: None) – The numeric identifier for the revision to base the modification on. This is used for detecting conflicts during save.

  • summary (str | None, default: None) – Summary for the edit. Will be prepended by an automatically generated comment.

  • clear (bool, default: False) – If set, the complete entity is emptied before proceeding. The entity will not be saved before it is filled with the “data”, possibly with parts excluded.

  • is_bot (bool, default: False) – Mark this edit as bot.

  • login – A login instance

  • tags (list[str] | None, default: None) – Change tags to apply to the revision.

  • site (str | None, default: None) – An identifier for the site on which the page resides. Use together with title to make a complete sitelink.

  • title (str | None, default: None) – Title of the page to associate. Use together with site to make a complete sitelink.

  • max_request_size (int | None, default: None) – Maximum form-encoded size of the data, in bytes. Larger data is written with several edits: the first one with everything but the statements and as many statements as fit, then the remaining statements. The edits are not atomic: if one fails, the previous ones are kept. Default config[‘MAX_REQUEST_SIZE’] (None, never split).

  • kwargs (Any) – More arguments for Python requests

Return type:

dict

Returns:

The answer from the Wikibase API, of the last edit when the data is split
