Project:Import Wikidata Entities: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 14:17, 16 April 2024

This page documents how to copy over entities existing in Wikidata into the portal.

Access the mardi-importer container. Follow the steps in Project:Access_Docker_container if necessary.
Navigate into /mardi_importer/mardi_importer/scripts
Create a new python file or directly edit sandbox.py
Use the import_entities method from MardiIntegrator to import Wikidata entities. You just have to pass the identifier from Wikidata that you want to import.
```
from mardi_importer.integrator import MardiIntegrator

mc = MardiIntegrator()

mc.import_entities('Q5')
```
The import_entities method can also accept a list of identifiers.
```
from mardi_importer.integrator import MardiIntegrator

mc = MardiIntegrator()

mc.import_entities(['Q5', 'Q6', 'Q7'])
```
The import_entities method returns a list of the local IDs that are assigned when creating the item in the portal. If necessary, you can save or print those directly from your script.
Execute the script: python3 sandbox.py
