Get URL to a Wikipedia article corresponding to a Wikidata Q identifier in given language

Usage

tw_get_wikipedia(
  id,
  full_link = TRUE,
  language = tidywikidatar::tw_get_language(),
  id_df = NULL,
  cache = NULL,
  overwrite_cache = FALSE,
  cache_connection = NULL,
  disconnect_db = TRUE,
  wait = 0
)

Arguments

id: A character vector, must start with Q, e.g. "Q254" for Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
full_link: Logical, defaults to TRUE. If FALSE, returns only the part of the url that corresponds to the title.
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
id_df: Default to NULL. If given, it should be a dataframe typically generated with tw_get_(), and is used instead of calling Wikidata or using SQLite cache. Ignored when id is of length more than one.
cache: Defaults to NULL. If given, it should be given either TRUE or FALSE. Typically set with tw_enable_cache() or tw_disable_cache().
overwrite_cache: Logical, defaults to FALSE. If TRUE, it overwrites the table in the local sqlite database. Useful if the original Wikidata object has been updated.
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 to cache open.
wait: In seconds, defaults to 0. Time to wait between queries to Wikidata. Wait time is not applied to contents retrieved from the local cache. If you are running a large number of queries systematically you may want to add some waiting time between each of them.

Value

A character vector of the same length as the vector of id given, with the Wikipedia link in the requested language.

Examples

tw_get_wikipedia(id = "Q180099")
