In tidywikidatar: Explore 'Wikidata' Through Tidy Data Frames

Gets labels for all columns with names such as "id" and "property".

Description

Gets labels for all columns with names such as "id" and "property".

Usage

tw_label(
  df,
  value = TRUE,
  language = tidywikidatar::tw_get_language(),
  cache = NULL,
  overwrite_cache = FALSE,
  cache_connection = NULL,
  disconnect_db = TRUE,
  wait = 0
)

Arguments

df	A data frame, typically generated with other tidywikidatar functions such as tw_get_property().
value	Logical, defaults to TRUE. If TRUE, it tries to get labels for all supposed id in the column called value. May break if the columns include some value which starts with Q and some digits, but is not a Wikidata id.
language	Defaults to language set with tw_set_language(); if not set, "en". Use "all_available" to keep all languages. For available language values, see the dedicated Wikimedia page.
cache	Defaults to NULL. If given, it should be given either TRUE or FALSE. Typically set with tw_enable_cache() or tw_disable_cache().
overwrite_cache	Logical, defaults to FALSE. If TRUE, it overwrites the table in the local sqlite database. Useful if the original Wikidata object has been updated.
cache_connection	Defaults to NULL. If NULL, and caching is enabled, tidywikidatar will use a local sqlite database. A custom connection to other databases can be given (see vignette caching for details).
disconnect_db	Defaults to TRUE. If FALSE, leaves the connection to cache open.
wait	In seconds, defaults to 0. Time to wait between queries to Wikidata. If data are cached locally, wait time is not applied. If you are running many queries systematically you may want to add some waiting time between queries.

Value

A data frame, with the same shape as the input data frame, but with labels instead of identifiers.

Examples

if (interactive()) {
  tw_get_qualifiers(id = "Q180099", p = "P26", language = "en") %>%
    head(2) %>%
    tw_label()
}
