- Closed request for permissions/Bot:
- bitbotje
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Requests_for_permissions/Bot/bitbotje>
(Task/s: Property MovieMeter film ID (P1970)
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P1970> has a suggested
constraint that the item should have a Dutch ('nl') label. The MovieMeter
website has suitable labels and provides an API for structured
data access.
I have a script that reads the relevant section in Wikidata:Database
reports/Constraint violations/P1970
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Database_reports/Constraint_violations/P1970>
and for each listed item does an API call to moviemeter.nl and adds a
label.)
