You should be calling pywikibot.ItemPage with the data repository, not the site.
import pywikibot wd = pywikibot.Site('wikidata', 'wikidata') repo = wd.data_repository() item = pywikibot.ItemPage(repo, 'Q42') item.get()
{'labels': <pywikibot.page.LanguageDict object at 0x7f69c8ca18e0>, 'descriptions': <pywikibot.page.LanguageDict object at 0x7f69c88fc8b0>, 'aliases': <pywikibot.page.AliasesDict object at 0x7f69c88fc6d0>, 'claims': <pywikibot.page.ClaimCollection object at 0x7f69c88fca30>, 'sitelinks': <pywikibot.page.SiteLinkCollection object at 0x7f69c88fc940>}
item.claims["P31"][0].getTarget()
ItemPage('Q5')
I couldn't get pywikibot.ItemPage.fromPage to work properly, but it looks like that is related to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T242081.

Hi,
I am trying to use a q number to get the details of a page in wikidata. I have searched through the tutorials and found these that claim to work
wikidata = pywikibot.Site("wikidata", "wikidata") repo = wikidata.data_repository() item = pywikibot.ItemPage(wikidata, "Q42").get()['claims']['P31'][0].getTarget() itempage = pywikibot.ItemPage.fromPage(pywikibot.Page(pywikibot.Site("en", "wikipedia"), "Douglas Adams"))However when I run either of these then I get the
EntityTypeUnknownException: DataSite("wikidata", "wikidata") does not support entity type "item"
As I am new to this and also python I am sure I am doing something stupid but its currently driving me mad.
Any help would be appreciated
