tidywikidatar (version 0.5.9)

tw_write_qid_of_wikipedia_page_to_cache: Write Wikidata identifier (qid) of Wikipedia page to cache

Description

Mostly used internally by tidywikidatar, use with caution to keep caching consistent.

Usage

tw_write_qid_of_wikipedia_page_to_cache(
  df,
  language = tidywikidatar::tw_get_language(),
  cache = NULL,
  overwrite_cache = FALSE,
  cache_connection = NULL,
  disconnect_db = TRUE
)

Value

Silently returns the same data frame provided as input. Mostly used internally for its side effects.

Arguments

df

A data frame typically generated with tw_get_wikipedia_page_qid().

language

Defaults to language set with tw_set_language(); if not set, "en". Use "all_available" to keep all languages. For available language values, see https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Wikimedia_language_codes/lists/all

cache

Defaults to NULL. If given, it should be given either TRUE or FALSE. Typically set with tw_enable_cache() or tw_disable_cache().

overwrite_cache

Logical, defaults to FALSE. If TRUE, it overwrites the table in the local sqlite database. Useful if the original Wikidata object has been updated.

cache_connection

Defaults to NULL. If NULL, and caching is enabled, tidywikidatar will use a local sqlite database. A custom connection to other databases can be given (see vignette caching for details).

disconnect_db

Defaults to TRUE. If FALSE, leaves the connection to cache open.

Examples
