The February Working Hour will feature a presentation by Steve Baskauf on using VanderBot with Wikibase:
The Wikibase API provides a mechanism for programmatic control of uploads, and its behavior is consistent across instances (Wikidata, Structured Data in Commons, and those that are established privately). In this session, I will discuss basic interactions with the API and demonstrate using the VanderBot Python application to rapidly upload tabular data to a wikibase.cloud instance. After performing a mass deletion, I’ll conclude by describing how I’ve used the Wikibase API to facilitate addition of structured data to Commons.
Steve Baskauf is a Data Science and Data Curation Specialist at the Vanderbilt University Heard Libraries. He has had a long-term interest in Linked Data and for the past several years has been experimenting with ways to streamline uploads to Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons.
