I'm running several bots and every once in a while a bot crashes:

Adding new template claim to [[wikidata:Q6614219]] Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\pywikibot\core\add_template.py", line 120, in <module> main() File "C:\pywikibot\core\add_template.py", line 117, in main bot.run() File "C:\pywikibot\core\add_template.py", line 52, in run item.addClaim(newclaim) File "C:\pywikibot\core\pywikibot\page.py", line 2676, in addClaim self.repo.addClaim(self, claim, bot=bot, **kwargs) File "C:\pywikibot\core\pywikibot\site.py", line 709, in callee return fn(self, *args, **kwargs) File "C:\pywikibot\core\pywikibot\site.py", line 3578, in addClaim data = req.submit() File "C:\pywikibot\core\pywikibot\data\api.py", line 394, in submit raise APIError(code, info, **result["error"]) pywikibot.data.api.APIError: badtoken: * '''Sorry! We could not process your edi t due to a loss of session data.''' Please try again. If it still does not work, try [[Special:UserLogout|logging out]] and logging ba ck in. * There seems to be a problem with your login session; this action has been canceled as a precaution against session hijacking. Go back to the previous page, reload that page and then try again.

This exception should be caught and the addClaim should be retried.

Maybe a Wikidata bug should be filed too to figure out why we seem to loose session data every once in a while
