Pywikibot
=========

The Pywikibot framework is a Python library that interfaces with the
`MediaWiki API <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Main_page>`_
version 1.23 or higher.

Also included are various general function scripts that can be adapted for
different tasks.

For further information about the library excluding scripts see
the full `code documentation <https://doc.wikimedia.org/pywikibot/>`_.

Quick start
-----------

::

    pip install requests
    git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/pywikibot/core.git
    cd core
    git submodule update --init
    python pwb.py script_name

Or to install using PyPI (excluding scripts)

::

    pip install -U setuptools
    pip install pywikibot

In addition a MediaWiki markup parser is required. Please install one of them:

::

    pip install mwparserfromhell

or

::

    pip install wikitextparser

Our `installation
guide <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/Installation>`_
has more details for advanced usage.

Basic Usage
-----------

If you wish to write your own script it's very easy to get started:

::

    import pywikibot
    site = pywikibot.Site('en', 'wikipedia')  # The site we want to run our bot on
    page = pywikibot.Page(site, 'Wikipedia:Sandbox')
    page.text = page.text.replace('foo', 'bar')
    page.save('Replacing "foo" with "bar"')  # Saves the page

Wikibase Usage
--------------

Wikibase is a flexible knowledge base software that drives Wikidata.
A sample pywikibot script for getting data from Wikibase:

::

    import pywikibot
    site = pywikibot.Site('wikipedia:en')
    repo = site.data_repository()  # the Wikibase repository for given site
    page = repo.page_from_repository('Q91')  # create a local page for the given item
    item = pywikibot.ItemPage(repo, 'Q91')  # a repository item
    data = item.get()  # get all item data from repository for this item

Script example
--------------

Pywikibot provides bot classes to develop your own script easily:

::

    import pywikibot
    from pywikibot import pagegenerators
    from pywikibot.bot import ExistingPageBot

    class MyBot(ExistingPageBot):

        update_options = {
            'text': 'This is a test text',
            'summary: 'Bot: a bot test edit with Pywikbot.'
        }

        def treat_page(self):
            """Load the given page, do some changes, and save it."""
            text = self.current_page.text
            text += '\n' + self.opt.text
            self.put_current(text, summary=self.opt.summary)

    def main():
        """Parse command line arguments and invoke bot."""
        options = {}
        gen_factory = pagegenerators.GeneratorFactory()
        # Option parsing
        local_args = pywikibot.handle_args(args)  # global options
        local_args = gen_factory.handle_args(local_args)  # generators options
        for arg in local_args:
            opt, sep, value = arg.partition(':')
            if opt in ('-summary', '-text'):
                options[opt[1:]] = value
        MyBot(generator=gen_factory.getCombinedGenerator(), **options).run()

    if __name == '__main__':
        main()
