Get all items that have a given property (irrespective of the value)

Description

This function does not cache results.

Usage

tw_get_all_with_p(
  p,
  fields = c("item", "itemLabel", "itemDescription"),
  language = tidywikidatar::tw_get_language(),
  method = "SPARQL",
  wait = 0.1,
  limit = Inf,
  return_as_tw_search = TRUE,
  user_agent = tidywikidatar::tw_get_user_agent()
)

Arguments

p	A character vector, a property. Must always start with the capital letter "P", e.g. "P31" for "instance of".
fields	A character vector of Wikidata fields. Ignored if return_as_tw_search is set to TRUE (as per default). Defaults to ⁠("item", "itemLabel", "itemDescription")⁠
language	Defaults to language set with tw_set_language(); if not set, "en". If more than one, can be set in order of preference, e.g. c("it", "fr", "en"). Use "all_available" to keep all languages. For available language values, see the list of available language codes in the official documentation.
method	Defaults to "SPARQL". The only accepted alternative value is "JSON", to use instead json-based API.
wait	Defaults to 0.1. Used only in method is set to "JSON".
limit	Defaults to Inf. Set to smaller values for testing and cache locally when possible to reduce load on servers.
return_as_tw_search	Logical, defaults to TRUE. If TRUE, returns a data frame with three columns (id, label, and description) that can be piped to other tw_ functions. If FALSE, a data frame with as many columns as fields.
user_agent	Defaults to a combination of tidywikidatar and package version number. Consider customising it for the current sessions with tw_set_user_agent(), in particular if you are making many queries.

Value

A data frame with three columns is method is set to "SPARQL", or as many columns as fields if more are given and return_as_tw_search is set to FALSE. A single column with Wikidata identifier if method is set to "JSON".

Examples

if (interactive()) {
  # get all Wikidata items with an ICAO airport code ("P239")
  tw_get_all_with_p(p = "P239", limit = 10)
}
