Retrieve cached item

Usage

tw_get_cached_item(
  id,
  language = tidywikidatar::tw_get_language(),
  cache = NULL,
  cache_connection = NULL,
  disconnect_db = TRUE
)

Arguments

id

A character vector, must start with Q, e.g. "Q180099" for the anthropologist Margaret Mead. Can also be a data frame of one row, typically generated with tw_search() or a combination of tw_search() and tw_filter_first().

language

Defaults to language set with tw_set_language(); if not set, "en". Use "all_available" to keep all languages. For available language values, see https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Wikimedia_language_codes/lists/all

cache

Defaults to NULL. If given, it should be given either TRUE or FALSE. Typically set with tw_enable_cache() or tw_disable_cache().

cache_connection

Defaults to NULL. If NULL, and caching is enabled, tidywikidatar will use a local sqlite database. A custom connection to other databases can be given (see vignette caching for details).

disconnect_db

Defaults to TRUE. If FALSE, leaves the connection open.

Value

If data present in cache, returns a data frame with cached data.

Examples



tw_set_cache_folder(path = tempdir())
tw_enable_cache()
tw_create_cache_folder(ask = FALSE)

df_from_api <- tw_get(id = "Q180099", language = "en")

df_from_cache <- tw_get_cached_item(
  id = "Q180099",
  language = "en"
)
