Project:BotBased imports

Synopsis

If you want to use a script to import / update items in the MaRDI Knowledge Graph, you might want to to that by using a Python script and the MardiClient library. This document describes the main steps.

Create a bot that will do the changes

1. Login to the mardi-wikibase docker container
2. Execute: php /var/www/html/w/maintenance/createAndPromote.php <BOTUSER_NAME> <BOTUSER_PW> --bot

Create the Python script

The core is something like this:

from mardiclient import MardiClient
mc = MardiClient(user="username", password="my-password")
item = mc.item.new()
item.labels.set(language='en', value='My Label')
item.write()
