QuickStatements Client

A data model and client for Wikidata QuickStatements.

💪 Getting Started

Here's how to quickly construct some QuickStatements

import datetime
from quickstatements_client import DateQualifier, EntityQualifier, TextQualifier, EntityLine

subject_qid = "Q47475003"  # Charles Tapley Hoyt
subject_orcid = "0000-0003-4423-4370"
reference_url_qualifier = TextQualifier(
   predicate="S854", target=f"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4423-4370"
)
start_date = datetime.datetime(year=2021, day=15, month=2)
start_date_qualifier = DateQualifier.start_time(start_date)
position_held_qualifier = EntityQualifier(predicate="P39", target="Q1706722")
employment_line = EntityLine(
   subject=subject_qid,
   predicate="P108",  # employer
   target="Q49121",  # Harvard medical school
   qualifiers=[reference_url_qualifier, start_date_qualifier, position_held_qualifier],
)

>>> employment_line.get_line()
'Q47475003|P108|Q49121|S854|"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4423-4370"|P580|+2021-02-15T00:00:00Z/11|P39|Q1706722',

How to send some QuickStatements to the API:

from quickstatements_client import QuickStatementsClient

lines = [
   employment_line,
   ...
]

client = QuickStatementsClient(token=..., username=...)
res = client.post(lines, batch_name="Test Batch")
# see also res.batch_id

import webbrowser
webbrowser.open_new_tab(res.batch_url)

Note: token and username are automatically looked up with pystow if they aren't given. Specifically, using pystow.get_config("quickstatements", "token) and pystow.get_config("quickstatements", "username").

🚀 Installation

The most recent release can be installed from PyPI with:

$ pip install quickstatements_client

The most recent code and data can be installed directly from GitHub with:

$ pip install git+https://github.com/cthoyt/quickstatements-client.git

👐 Contributing

Contributions, whether filing an issue, making a pull request, or forking, are appreciated. See CONTRIBUTING.md for more information on getting involved.

🛠️ For Developers

See developer instructions

The final section of the README is for if you want to get involved by making a code contribution.

Development Installation

To install in development mode, use the following:

$ git clone git+https://github.com/cthoyt/quickstatements-client.git
$ cd quickstatements-client
$ pip install -e .

🥼 Testing

After cloning the repository and installing tox with pip install tox, the unit tests in the tests/ folder can be run reproducibly with:

$ tox

Additionally, these tests are automatically re-run with each commit in a GitHub Action.

📖 Building the Documentation

The documentation can be built locally using the following:

$ git clone git+https://github.com/cthoyt/quickstatements-client.git
$ cd quickstatements-client
$ tox -e docs
$ open docs/build/html/index.html

The documentation automatically installs the package as well as the docs extra specified in the setup.cfg. sphinx plugins like texext can be added there. Additionally, they need to be added to the extensions list in docs/source/conf.py.

📦 Making a Release

After installing the package in development mode and installing tox with pip install tox, the commands for making a new release are contained within the finish environment in tox.ini. Run the following from the shell:

$ tox -e finish

This script does the following:

Uses Bump2Version to switch the version number in the setup.cfg, src/quickstatements_client/version.py, and docs/source/conf.py to not have the -dev suffix
Packages the code in both a tar archive and a wheel using build
Uploads to PyPI using twine. Be sure to have a .pypirc file configured to avoid the need for manual input at this step
Push to GitHub. You'll need to make a release going with the commit where the version was bumped.
Bump the version to the next patch. If you made big changes and want to bump the version by minor, you can use tox -e bumpversion -- minor after.
