Hi Andra!
I actually built that functionality into WikidataQueryServiceR --
see `help("scrape_example", package = "WikidataQueryServiceR")` and
https://github.com/bearloga/WikidataQueryServiceR/#extracting-and-running-example-sparql-queries
<https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/WikidataQueryServiceR/README.html#extracting-and-running-example-sparql-queries>
-- but
had to make it optional (not part of the core functionality) for
licensing/dependency reasons.
Glad to see people are using WDQSR! :)
On the Python side, I'm sure there's a way to do something similar using
BeautifulSoup web-scraping library.
Cheers,
Mikhail
