# wikidata_suggest

[![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/edsu/wikidata_suggest.png)](http://travis-ci.org/edsu/wikidata_suggest)

`wikidata_suggest` is a simple command line tool for interactively reconciling 

your data against [Wikidata](https://wikidata.org). First you'll want to

install:

    % pip install wikidata_suggest

Once you've installed it you will get a command line tool `wd`:

Most likely you will want to use wikidata_suggest as a little data 

cleansing/augmentation library. For example if you have a CSV spreadsheet 

that has an *author* column that you'd like to link up to Wikidata, you 

can do something like this:

```python

import csv

from wikidata_suggest import suggest

reader = csv.reader(open("data.csv"))

writer = csv.writer(open("new_data.csv", "wb"))

# read the csv 

for row in reader:

    # column 2 has author names

    author = row[1]

    # drop into interactive session

    wikidata = suggest(author)

    if wikidata:

        row.append(wikidata["id"])

    else:

        row.append(None)

  

    # write our new row 

    writer.writerow(row)

reader.close()

writer.close()

```
