A set of utilities for extracting and processing MediaWiki data.
Project description
MediaWiki Utilities is an open source (MIT Licensed) library developed by Aaron Halfaker for extracting and processing data from MediaWiki installations, slave databses and xml dumps.
This library requires Python 3 or later.
A typical usage looks like this:
from mw.api import Session
from mw.lib import reverts
# Gather a page's revisions from the API
api_session = Session("https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php")
revs = api_session.revisions.query(
titles={"User:EpochFail"},
properties={'ids', 'sha1'},
direction="newer"
)
# Creates a revsion event iterator
rev_events = ((rev['sha1'], rev) for rev in revs)
# Detect and print reverts
for revert in reverts.detect(rev_events):
print("{0} reverted back to {1}".format(revert.reverting['revid'],
revert.reverted_to['revid']))
For more examples, see scripts inside examples/.
Core modules
- api
A set of utilities for interacting with MediaWiki’s web API.
Session(…) – Constructs an API session with a MediaWiki installation. Contains convenience methods for accessing prop=revisions, list=usercontribs, meta=siteinfo, and list=recentchanges.
- database
A set of utilities for interacting with MediaWiki’s database.
DB(…) – Constructs a mysql database connector with convenience methods for accessing revision, archive, page, user, and recentchanges.
- types
A set of types for working with MediaWiki data.
Timestamp(…) – Constructs a robust datatype for dealing with MediaWikis common timestamp formats
- xml_dump
A set of utilities for iteratively processing with MediaWiki’s XML database dumps.
Iterator(..) – Constructs an iterator over a standard XML dump. Dumps contain site_info and pages. Pages contain metadata and revisions. Revisions contain metadata and text. This is probably why you are here.
map(..) – Applies a function to a set of dump files (Iterators) using the multiprocessing module and aggregates the output.
Libraries
- lib.persistence
A set of utilities for tracking the persistence of content between revisions
State(…) – Constructs an object that represents the current content persistence state of a page. Reports useful details about content when updated.
- lib.reverts
A set of utilities for performing revert detection
Detector(…) – Constructs an identity revert detector that can be updated manually over the history of a page.
detect(…) – Detects reverts in a sequence of revision events.
- lib.sessions
A set of utilities for grouping revisions and other events into sessions
Cache(…) – Constructs a cache of recent user actions that can be updated manually in order to detect sessions.
cluster(…) – Clusters a sequence of user actions into sessions.
- lib.titles
A set of utilities for normalizing and parsing page titles
Parser(…) – Constructs a parser with a set of namespaces that can be used to parse and normalize page titles.
normalize(…) – Normalizes a page title.
