Re: [Wikidata-tech] Wikidata API documentation
Hi, You might also find https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/extensions/Wikibase/+/master/docs/topics/json.md helpful. It claims to be the canonical format but I can't right now say if that is the case.

Re: [Wikidata-tech] Wikidata API documentation
Howdy, you could also try if consulting https://doc.wikimedia.org/mediawiki-extensions-Wikibase/master/php/md_docs_topics_changeop-serializations.html for items and properties, and (pretty rudimentary and still-not-markdown-nor-linkable-html-doc) https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/extensions/WikibaseLexeme/+/refs/heads/master/docs/change-op-serialization.wiki for some lexicographical-data-specific bits helps you in your case.

Re: [Wikidata-tech] Wikidata API documentation
Hi Michael,
As the author of some MW client library, I cannot find the doc, either. Neither
have I looked into lexicographical data, but I had some trials-and-fails on
Wikibase entity/properties, and perhaps they can help ^_^
For Wikibase items, I think the essential part of the problem is how to compose
"data=" parameter of the request. Basically you need to send a partial of
serialized Wikibase Entity (see
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/DataModel/JSON) as data parameter. Just
put in the names/aliases/claims that you want to append/update, send the
request, and it's done.
The tricky part is, when you want to remove a claim/qualifier or an alias, you
need to specify "remove" attribute, along with some identifiable attributes
(language, id, etc.) like this
{
"descriptions": {
"zh": {
"language": "zh",
"remove": ""
}
},
"aliases": {
"en": [
{
"language": "en",
"value": "alias 1",
"remove": ""
}
]
},
"sitelinks": {
"testwiki": {
"site": "testwiki",
"remove": ""
}
}
}
When you are removing a claim/qualifier, you need to identify them by snak id,
like this.
{
"claims": {
"P95433": [
{
"id": "Q212134$49E9F6B8-9D73-43A8-B45C-0D74DBA92B16",
"remove": ""
}
]
}
}
You can actually combine all these components above in a single request, to
change multiple traits of a Wikibase item. However, you may prefer wbset*
actions (e.g. wbsetclaim) sometimes, because they generates user-friendly edit
summary on what has been changed, at the expense of only being able to edit 1
aspect of the Wikibase item in 1 request.
If it's possible, perhaps you can refer to my C# code for composing data
parameter for wbeditentity request:
https://github.com/CXuesong/WikiClientLibrary/blob/master/WikiClientLibrary.Wikibase/Entity.Editing.cs#L23:34
Hope that helps.
Thanks,
Xinyan

Subject: [Wikidata-tech] Wikidata API documentation
Hello,
Is there any documentation to "wbeditentity", except from the few examples on
the API-document-page?
Any documentation about the format/grammar of the data?
And is there any API-documentation for lexicographical data at al?
The few bits on the source-code generated page aren't sufficient.
Cheers,
M
