query_page_properties: Choose properties to return for pages from the action API

In wikkitidy: Tidy Analysis of Wikipedia

Choose properties to return for pages from the action API

Description

See API:Properties for a list of available properties. Many have additional parameters to control their behavior, which can be passed to this function as named arguments.

Usage

query_page_properties(.req, property, ...)

list_all_property_modules()

Arguments

.req	A httr2_request, e.g. generated by wiki_action_request
property	The property to request
...	<dynamic-dots> Additional parameters to pass, e.g. to modify what is returned by the property request

Details

query_page_properties is not useful on its own. It must be combined with a query_by_ function or query_generate_pages to specify which pages properties are to be returned. It should be noted that many of the API:Properties modules can themselves be used as generators. If you wish to use a property module in this way, then you must use query_generate_pages, passing the name of the property module as the genenerator.

Value

An HTTP response: an S3 list with class httr2_request

gracefully()

Examples

# Search for articles about seagulls and retrieve their number of
# watchers

resp <- wiki_action_request() %>%
  query_generate_pages("search", gsrsearch = "seagull") %>%
  query_page_properties("info", inprop = "watchers") %>%
  gracefully(next_batch) %>%
  dplyr::select(pageid, ns, title, watchers)
resp
