tw_get_wikipedia_page_sections: Get sections of a Wikipedia page

Description

Get sections of a Wikipedia page

Usage

tw_get_wikipedia_page_sections(
  url = NULL,
  title = NULL,
  language = tidywikidatar::tw_get_language(),
  cache = NULL,
  overwrite_cache = FALSE,
  cache_connection = NULL,
  disconnect_db = TRUE,
  wait = 1,
  attempts = 10
)

Value

A data frame (a tibble), with the same columns as tw_empty_wikipedia_page_sections.

Arguments

url

Full url to a Wikipedia page. If given, title and language can be left empty.

title

Title of a Wikipedia page or final parts of its url. If given, url can be left empty, but language must be provided.

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 the dedicated Wikimedia page.

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.

wait

In seconds, defaults to 0. Time to wait between queries to Wikidata. If data are cached locally, wait time is not applied. If you are running many queries systematically you may want to add some waiting time between queries.

attempts

Defaults to 10. Number of times it re-attempts to reach the API before failing.

Examples

if (interactive()) {
  tw_get_wikipedia_page_sections(title = "Margaret Mead", language = "en")
}
