Overview

MediaWiki client class.

Usage:

client = Infoboxer::MediaWiki
  .new('http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php', user_agent: 'My Own Project')
page = client.get('Argentina')

Consider using shortcuts like #wiki, #wikipedia, #wp and so on instead of direct instation of this class (although you can if you want to!)

Constructor Details

#initialize(api_base_url, ua: nil, user_agent: ua) ⇒ MediaWiki

Creating new MediaWiki client. Infoboxer#wiki provides shortcut for it, as well as shortcuts for some well-known wikis, like Infoboxer#wikipedia.

Parameters:

  • api_base_url (String) —

    URL of api.php file in your MediaWiki installation. Typically, its <domain>/w/api.php, but can vary in different wikis.

  • user_agent (String) (defaults to: ua) —

Instance Method Details

#category(title, limit: 'max', &processor) ⇒ Tree::Nodes<Page>

Receive list of parsed MediaWiki pages from specified category.

Parameters:

  • title (String) —

    Category title. You can use namespaceless title (like "Countries in South America"), title with namespace (like "Category:Countries in South America") or title with local namespace (like "Catégorie:Argentine" for French Wikipedia)

  • limit (Integer, "max") (defaults to: 'max')
  • processor (Proc) —

    Optional block to preprocess MediaWiktory query. Refer to MediaWiktory::Actions::Query for its API. Infoboxer assumes that the block returns new instance of Query, so be careful while using it.

Returns:

# File 'lib/infoboxer/media_wiki.rb', line 178

def category(title, limit: 'max', &processor)
  title = normalize_category_title(title)

  list(@api.query.generator(:categorymembers).title(title), limit, &processor)
end

#get(*titles, interwiki: nil, &processor) ⇒ Page, Tree::Nodes<Page>

Receive list of parsed MediaWiki pages for list of titles provided. All pages are received with single query to MediaWiki API.

NB: if you are requesting more than 50 titles at once (MediaWiki limitation for single request), Infoboxer will do as many queries as necessary to extract them all (it will be like (titles.count / 50.0).ceil requests)

Parameters:

  • titles (Array<String>) —

    List of page titles to get.

  • interwiki (Symbol) (defaults to: nil) —

    Identifier of other wiki, related to current, to fetch pages from.

  • processor (Proc) —

    Optional block to preprocess MediaWiktory query. Refer to MediaWiktory::Actions::Query for its API. Infoboxer assumes that the block returns new instance of Query, so be careful while using it.

Returns:

  • (Page, Tree::Nodes<Page>) —

    array of parsed pages. Notes:

    • if you call get with only one title, one page will be returned instead of an array
    • if some of pages are not in wiki, they will not be returned, therefore resulting array can be shorter than titles array; you can always check pages.map(&:title) to see what you've really received; this approach allows you to write absent-minded code like this:
      Infoboxer.wp.get('Argentina', 'Chile', 'Something non-existing').
     infobox.fetch('some value')

    and obtain meaningful results instead of NoMethodError or SomethingNotFound.

# File 'lib/infoboxer/media_wiki.rb', line 130

def get(*titles, interwiki: nil, &processor)
  return interwikis(interwiki).get(*titles, &processor) if interwiki

  pages = get_h(*titles, &processor).values.compact
  titles.count == 1 ? pages.first : Tree::Nodes[*pages]
end

#get_h(*titles, &processor) ⇒ Hash<String, Page>

Same as #get, but returns hash of {requested title => page}.

Useful quirks:

  • when requested page not existing, key will be still present in resulting hash (value will be nil);
  • when requested page redirects to another, key will still be the requested title. For ex., get_h('Einstein') will return hash with key 'Einstein' and page titled 'Albert Einstein'.

This allows you to be in full control of what pages of large list you've received.

Parameters:

  • titles (Array<String>) —

    List of page titles to get.

  • processor (Proc) —

    Optional block to preprocess MediaWiktory query. Refer to MediaWiktory::Actions::Query for its API. Infoboxer assumes that the block returns new instance of Query, so be careful while using it.

Returns:

  • (Hash<String, Page>)

              .reject { |_, p| p.key?('missing') }
  titles.map { |title| [title, make_page(raw_pages, title)] }.to_h

#prefixsearch(prefix, limit: 'max', &processor) ⇒ Tree::Nodes<Page>

Receive list of parsed MediaWiki pages with titles startin from prefix. See MediaWiki API docs for details.

Parameters:

  • prefix (String) —

    Page title prefix.

  • limit (Integer, "max") (defaults to: 'max')
  • processor (Proc) —

    Optional block to preprocess MediaWiktory query. Refer to MediaWiktory::Actions::Query for its API. Infoboxer assumes that the block returns new instance of Query, so be careful while using it.

def prefixsearch(prefix, limit: 'max', &processor)
  list(@api.query.generator(:prefixsearch).search(prefix), limit, &processor)
end

#raw(*titles, &processor) ⇒ Hash{String => Hash}

Receive "raw" data from Wikipedia (without parsing or wrapping in classes).

Parameters:

  • titles (Array<String>) —

    List of page titles to get.

  • processor (Proc) —

    Optional block to preprocess MediaWiktory query. Refer to MediaWiktory::Actions::Query for its API. Infoboxer assumes that the block returns new instance of Query, so be careful while using it.

Returns:

  • (Hash{String => Hash}) —

    Hash of {requested title => raw MediaWiki object}. Note that even missing (does not exist in current Wiki) or invalid (impossible title) still be present in response, just will have "missing" or "invalid" key, just like MediaWiki returns them.
