tidywikidatar 0.5.9
- drop dependency on
WikipediR
- report informative error message from the api in
tw_search
and related functions
- include “tidywikidatar/version” user agent in
tw_search
and related functions
- fix
tw_get_wikipedia_section_links
when url provided as
input
tidywikidatar 0.5.8
- consistent results rather than error when searching empty string
with
tw_search
- consistent results rather than error when searching empty string
with
tw_get_property_label
- drop
usethis
dependency (PR by @olivroy)
tidywikidatar 0.5.7
- fix:
tw_get_wikipedia_category_members
now works with
categories that have more than 1000 member pages and consistently stores
data in language-appropriate cache file also when language is derived
from url
- testing adjustments: more tests now rely on an embedded set of items
to reduce risks of server timeouts when conducting checks, in particular
from CRAN
tidywikidatar 0.5.6
- fix:
tw_get
now caches Wikidata items that have been
deleted, storing the error message as the value of property “error”
- fix:
tw_search
now returns results consistently also
when description missing in given language (issue stemming from update
in a dependency)
tidywikidatar 0.5.5
- fix:
tw_search
now checks cache efficiently also when
cache settings are passed as parameters
- fix: minor adjustments to prevent warnings and error with latest
purrr
and tidyselect
tidywikidatar 0.5.4
- enhancement:
tw_get_wikipedia_page_links()
now works
more efficiently with cache and deals more graciously when given links
to non-existing Wikipedia pages
- fix:
tw_get_wikipedia_category_members()
now works as
expected also when caching is disabled
- fix: deal consistently with Wikipedia pages that have “&” or
other special characters in their title
- fix:
tw_get_wikipedia_page_links()
now works
consistently when non-standard characters or non-latin alphabets found
in url
- fix:
tw_get_wikipedia_page_qid()
now works consistently
when url given is not in the language set with
tw_set_language()
tidywikidatar 0.5.3
- new feature: get identifiers of pages that are members of a category
on Wikipedia with
tw_get_wikipedia_category_members()
- fix: return a data frame of a single row filled with
NA
values when tw_get_qualifiers()
would return no information
on a given item/property combination; this ensures caching works as
expected also in such cases.
- fix: error in caching functions apparently due to
dbplyr
update/incompatibility with the pool
package
tidywikidatar 0.5.2
- new feature:
tw_get_p_wide()
offers a more efficient
way to get wide data frames with a number of properties (with relative
labels) for a set of Wikidata id; it also facilitates collapsing values
for ease of export to csv.
- new: introduce
tw_get_p1()
as a shorthand for
tw_get_p(only_first = TRUE, preferred = TRUE)
- new: when pre-cached data is given to functions such as
tw_get_property()
or tw_get_label()
, it looks
for missing data if not all are present in given data frame
- new: introduce cache indexing convenience functions,
tw_index_cache_item()
and
tw_index_cache_search()
. These should be significantly
improved performance on the caching backend, but these are currently
introduced as an opt-in as they have not been thoroughly tested with
different database drivers. Running them once drastically improve
performance with MySql when the cache goes into million of items. See
also the vignette on caching.
- fix: don’t look for cache folder when cache disabled in
tw_get_p()
- fix: better handling of cases when NA (including, a vector with only
NA), or NULL, are given as input to various functions
- fix: when only a partial pre-cached data frame is passed to
tw_get()
and other functions as input, missing items are
queried
- fix:
tw_get_wikipedia()
consistently returns vector of
the same length as input
- fix:
rank
column mistakenly dropped in some cases when
using tw_get_property()
- fix: when caching language is set manually via parameter (instead of
via environment variable), a separate SQLite database is used, as
expected
- new:
tw_check_qid()
has more parameters to deal with
different use cases
- new: new set of functions to add index to databases to improve
performance when the local cache grows to many millions rows
(
tw_check_cache_index()
,
tw_index_cache_item()
, and
tw_index_cache_search()
). Tested with MySql.
- all
_single
functions used internally are now not
exported to facilitate auto-complete
- new maintainer email address due to CRAN issues
tidywikidatar 0.5.1
- introduce functions to get list of sections of Wikipedia pages -
tw_get_wikipedia_page_sections()
- and then extract the
links from a specific section -
tw_get_wikipedia_page_section_links()
- introduce convenience function to get all Wikidata items that have a
given property, irrespective of the value,
tw_get_all_with_p()
tw_search()
now has separate parameters for the search
language, and the language in which label and description and returned
(previously, these were always in English)
- fix
tw_get_qualifiers()
when qualifier value is of type
quantity
- keep smooth caching also when a Wikidata item has no values and no
label in the current language
- introduce additional settings in database connections for drivers
that need them
- minor bug fixes
tidywikidatar 0.5.0
- new vignette with examples starting from a Wikipedia page, with more
examples using piped operations, and clearer references that separate
group of functions in official documentation website
tw_get()
now keeps rank by default, facilitating
retrieving more relevant results
tw_get_qualifiers()
now includes ranking such as
“preferred”, “normal”, and “deprecated” associated with each property,
as well as value type of the output (new format incompatible with
previous cache, reset cache with
tw_reset_qualifiers_cache()
)
tw_get_qualifiers()
not returns correctly value when
qualifier value type is a string (not a Wikidata identifier, not a
date)
tw_get_image()
not respects all parameters
consistently. tw_get_image()
and
tw_get_image_metadata()
are now briefly described in the
README.
tw_get_wikipedia_page_links()
now caches results, and
provides more consistent results as a data frame
- introduce
tw_get_p()
as an alias of
tw_get_property_same_length()
for brevity
- introduce new parameters in
tw_get_p()
to deal with
common pattern when only “preferred” or most recent property should be
returned, rather than whatever Wikidata has first in the list, and add
new section in the readme
- add example datasets for illustrative purposes and forthcoming
additional vignettes and examples,
tw_qid_meps
and
tw_qid_airports
- drop legacy
include_id_and_p
parameter
tw_get_qualifiers()
- add support for setting database connection parameters with
tw_set_cache_db()
for easier use of alternatives to
SQLite
- new naming convention for local SQLite database, to reflect change
that there is now one database per language
- improve handling of connections to reduce the risk of connections
remaining open, aiming at higher efficiency for integration with shiny
apps
- bug fix: fix error when Wikidata item has no label in any
language
tidywikidatar 0.4.2
tw_get_image()
now returns consistently valid links if
format is set to ‘embed’; it is now possible to get a direct link to
images with a given resolution with the width parameter
- introduce
tw_get_image_metadata()
to obtain adequate
credits to be included when images are used
- introduce functions to get Wikidata identifiers from Wikipedia
pages
tw_get_property()
now consistently returns data frame
with properties in the same order as given and does not fail if given
invalid values
- more consistent testing, less likely to be impacted to changes in
Wikidata items
- updated README with examples using the pipe operator
tidywikidatar 0.4.1
- bug fix release:
tw_get_label()
, now actually always
returns vector of the same length as input
- new functions used internally for consistency and preventing the
above issue under different scenarios
- invalid identifiers and
NA
are now ignored by
tw_get()
tidywikidatar 0.4.0
tw_get_label()
actually returns vector of the same
length as input
- introduce
tw_get_property_same_length()
for easier
integration with piped operations
- introduce
tw_get_property_with_details()
to extract
additional details such as language or unit of a property that are
otherwise discarded with tw_get_property()
.
tw_get_property_with_details()
, however, does not (yet)
cache results.
tidywikidatar 0.3.0
- much more efficient caching
- introduces partial compatibility with other caching backends via
DBI
- introduces progress bars
- report informative error messages from server
- tests fail without throwing errors if Wikidata server cannot be
reached
- new caching vignette
tidywikidatar 0.2.0
- more efficient when input includes repeated id
- better documentation and testing
tidywikidatar 0.1.0
- all outputs as data frame or vector
- caches data locally
- facilitates basic queries
