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
  3. In case you need to change the Bot's password, use: php /var/www/html/w/maintenance/run.php changePassword --user=example --password=newpassword


Create the Python script

The core is something like this:

from mardiclient import MardiClient
mc = MardiClient(user="bot_username", password="bot_password", login_with_bot=True)
item = mc.item.new()
item.labels.set(language='en', value='My Label')
item.write()


Run the Python script
