Write Wikidata identifier (qid) of Wikipedia page to cache

Mostly used internally by tidywikidatar, use with caution to keep caching consistent.

Usage

tw_write_qid_of_wikipedia_page_to_cache(
  df,
  language = tidywikidatar::tw_get_language(),
  cache = NULL,
  overwrite_cache = FALSE,
  cache_connection = NULL,
  disconnect_db = TRUE
)

Arguments

df

A data frame typically generated with tw_get_wikipedia_page_qid().

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().

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.

Value

Silently returns the same data frame provided as input. Mostly used internally for its side effects.

Examples

if (interactive()) {
  df <- tw_get_wikipedia_page_qid(
    title = "Margaret Mead",
    language = "en",
    cache = FALSE
  )

  tw_write_qid_of_wikipedia_page_to_cache(
    df = df,
    language = "en"
  )
}
