Hi guys,
I am doing some research and I struggling a bit to obtain geolocalized articles in several languages. They told me that the best tool to obtain the geolocalization for each article would be GeoData API. But I see there I need to introduce each article name and I don't know if it is the best way.
I am thinking for instance that for big wikipedies like French or German I might need to make a million queries to get only those with coords... Also, I would like to obtain the region according to ISO 3166-2 which seems to be there.
My objective is to obtain different lists of articles related to countries and regions.
I don't know if using WikiData with python would be a better option. But I see that there there isn't the region. Maybe I could combine WikiData and some other tool to give me the region. Anyone could help me?
Thanks a lot.
