Task/s: Sync links with ACMI API.
Code: https://github.com/ACMILabs/acmi-wikidata-bot/blob/main/acmi_bot.py
Function details: As part of an upcoming residency with the ACMI (Q4823962) I have written a small bot to pull Wikidata links from their public API and write back to Wikidata to ensure sync between the two resources.The plan was to integrate this as part of the build workflow for the ACMI API (https://github.com/ACMILabs/acmi-api). This is currently set to append only, not removing any links Wikidata-side. While the initial link count is only around 1500 there will likely be significant expansion in the current weeks as we identify further overlaps. --Pxxlhxslxn (talk) 00:36, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
- can you add a reference? can you set an edit summary (just add a "summary" arg to the write call)? Otherwise looks good. BrokenSegue (talk) 01:23, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
- Oh dear, I have tried to change the bot name and now I see I have screwed things up a bit in relation to this form (ie the discussion is still under the old name). Should I just open a new request? I have also added the edit summary to the write function. Pxxlhxslxn (talk) 10:48, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
- No need to open a new request as far as I am concerned. Ymblanter (talk) 19:06, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
- We have now finished the test sample group for the bot and it us working as expected, are there any other requirements or impediments to being added to the "bot" group? I also had a question about something we have encountered: code and credentials work fine when run alone as a standalone python process, but when integrated as a github action (triggered by the ACMI API build) there is a "wikibaseintegrator.wbi_exceptions.MWApiError: 'You do not have the permissions needed to carry out this action.'" error message. Has anyone ever encountered this issue before? The only factor I can think of is maybe some kind of IP block. --Pxxlhxslxn (talk) 11:52, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
- I don't think it's an IP block. BrokenSegue (talk) 20:40, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
