Hello,
i am currently gathering image data for my master thesis. I am using the QLabels from wikidata, to crawl specific image classes (like axe, car etc.).
I am using the Action API for my requests and now my problem:
The QLabel Q870 (train) has around 21k images. I am using the sroffset parameter and the "continue" parameter from the response to search for 500 images at a time. The script is working until I reach the 10k limit (the message is like: 'you request exceeded the limit of 10000 items ..."). Is there any option, that I can crawl more than 10k items/images from one search query?
My search query looks like this: params = { 'action': 'query', 'format': 'json', 'list': 'search', 'srsearch': search_query, 'srnamespace': '0|6|12|14|100|106', # Namespace filter based on the provided URL 'srlimit': batch_size, # Number of images per batch 'sroffset': start, # Offset for pagination 'prop': 'info|imageinfo', # Request additional information about the pages (images) 'inprop': 'url' # Include the URL information } the 'sroffset' parameter is always updated, with the result from the "continue" param from the response I get.
It would be a great, if somebody could help me!
Thank you! Kind regards Ruben
