Data Types

Note: Not all of Wikibase's data types are implemented yet. Trying to parse an item with a value of such a data type will raise a NotImplementedError.

StringValue

Adding a StringValue claim to an item:

item = py_wb.Item().get(entity_id="Q1")
prop = py_wb.Property().get(entity_id="P1")

value = py_wb.StringValue().create("This is a string")

claim = item.claims.add(prop, value)

ExternalId

Adding an ExternalId claim to an item:

item = py_wb.Item().get(entity_id="Q1")
prop = py_wb.Property().get(entity_id="P1")

value = py_wb.ExternalId().create("ID123")

claim = item.claims.add(prop, value)

GeoLocation

Adding a GeoLocation claim to an item:

item = py_wb.Item().get(entity_id="Q1")
prop = py_wb.Property().get(entity_id="P1")

value = py_wb.GeoLocation().create(1.23, 4.56)

claim = item.claims.add(prop, value)

Optional parameters:

• altitude (float, default: None)
• precision (float, default: 1 / 3600)
• globe (Item, default: None)

Quantity

Adding a Quantity claim to an item:

item = py_wb.Item().get(entity_id="Q1")
prop = py_wb.Property().get(entity_id="P1")

value = py_wb.Quantity().create(123)

claim = item.claims.add(prop, value)

Adding a Quantity claim with a unit (must be an item):

item = py_wb.Item().get(entity_id="Q1")
item_unit = py_wb.Item().get(entity_id="Q2")
prop = py_wb.Property().get(entity_id="P1")

value = py_wb.Quantity().create(123, unit=item_unit)

claim = item.claims.add(prop, value)
