# python-wikibase
**`python-wikibase` provides an object-oriented abstraction of the [Wikibase API](https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=help).**
The library simplifies the authentication process and can be used to query and edit information on Wikidata or any other Wikibase instance.
## Installation
```sh
pip install python-wikibase
```
## Usage
Simple example for adding a coordinate location claim to an existing Wikibase item:
```py
from python_wikibase import PyWikibase
# Authenticate with Wikibase
py_wb = PyWikibase(config_path="config.json")
# Fetch item and "coordinate location" property
item = py_wb.Item().get(entity_id="item label")
prop = py_wb.Property().get(entity_id="coordinate location")
# Create new GeoLocation value
value = py_wb.GeoLocation().create(1.23, 4.56)
# Create GeoLocation claim
claim = item.claims.add(prop, value)
```
**See the [documentation](./docs/usage.md) for descriptions and examples of all commands.**
## Authentication
The `PyWikibase` class takes the same authentication and configuration parameters as the `WikibaseApi` class from the [`wikibase-api`](https://github.com/samuelmeuli/wikibase-api) library (which is used internally). See [its documentation](https://wikibase-api.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started/installation_and_usage.html#edits) for a guide on how to authenticate with Wikibase.
