Wikibase/API/th

คำแนะนำทั่วไป
The Wikibase API is provided by a set of extensions that implement MediaWiki API modules. So to use it you should have basic familiarity with the MediaWiki action API: actions, queries, etc., and conversely all your experience with generic parameters such as  and , etc. applies to the Wikibase API.

Changes to the Wikibase API are subject to the Stable Interface Policy.

Wikibase และ Wikidata
Wikibase provides a general mechanism to store statements as structured data. Any MediaWiki installation can run it.

(See wikidata:Glossary for explanations of these terms.) On the Wikimedia cluster, most wikis do not run the full set of Wikibase extensions. The statements about items live on the server. Since this includes statements about the millions of items in Wikipedias, it's a fantastic resource to query!

(Wikimedia Commons has its own Wikibase for properties of the files on Commons.)

The extensions implement the  submodules and the API modules To generate API documentation for just one of these modules, append  to Special:ApiHelp; for example visit Special:ApiHelp/wbgetentities.
 * pageterms query property submodule
 * wikibase query meta submodule
 * wbcontentlanguages query meta submodule - (docs)
 * wbavailablebadges
 * wbcreateclaim
 * wbcreateredirect
 * wbeditentity
 * wbformatvalue
 * wbgetclaims

 * wbsetaliases
 * wbsetclaim
 * wbsetclaimvalue
 * wbsetdescription
 * wbsetlabel
 * wbsetqualifier
 * wbsetreference
 * wbsetsitelink
 * wbsgetsuggestions

To generate API documentation for multiple modules on one page, pass module names separated by  as the   parameter to  ; for example, |query+wikibase|wbavailablebadges|wbcreateclaim|wbcreateredirect|wbeditentity|wbformatvalue|wbgetclaims|wbgetentities|wblinktitles|wbmergeitems|wbparsevalue|wbremoveclaims|wbremovequalifiers|wbremovereferences|wbsearchentities|wbsetaliases|wbsetclaim|wbsetclaimvalue|wbsetdescription|wbsetlabel|wbsetqualifier|wbsetreference|wbsetsitelink|wbsgetsuggestions this URL generates the documentation for all the modules listed above.

Wikibase clients
Many Wikimedia wikis run the Wikibase Client extension. This lets API clients on them
 * query the  meta submodule to determine URLs for the full Wikibase repo see its API help
 * query the  property submodule to get some Wikidata information about pages on the local wiki

Post vs. get

 * Requests that change content should use a token.
 * Requests should use HTTP POST or GET requests according to api module. Modules that change content use POST. Use POST to avoid problem with non-behaving proxies.
 * Clients should be aware of and handle errors from the API.

Module parameters
There are some parameters that are nearly always available. Plural forms are used in those cases where a parameter can take several values. Normally the return value either has a  key with a boolean cast as an integer or an   key with an object of two, optionally three, keys ,   and. The last one is additional information. Information about the action is either passed on the top level or under item if its one single item or items if its several. If it is several items each is found under a key with its own item id. See Success and Errors paragraphs.
 * id | ids : Identifies a specific entity or entities, most typical an item. Plural form is used in wbgetentities. Lists of ids should be separated by.
 * site ∩ title | sites ∩ titles : Identifies a single item or multiple items. Plural form is used in wbgetentities. Only one of sites and titles can have multiple values at the same time.
 * language | languages : The language is used as a filter mechanism to filter labels and descriptions in get actions or to identify a specific language for set actions.
 * format : Should always be set to json (or jsonfm for debugging), or xml (or xmlfm for debugging), no other form is supported.
 * summary : Adds a user specified summary instead of the system generated one. If not provided the module will generate its own summary, and if this fails the item itself will provide a summary.
 * token : An encrypted string the requester must pass on shall the request be fulfilled.
 * baserevid : An id for the last known revision that must be passed on so the server can detect edit collisions.


 * Note that empty objects are returned as json arrays and not as objects.
 * Note that empty parameters removes the actual entry from the item.

wbcheckconstraints
Module to check constraints for given entities or claims.


 * id Entity ID(s) of entities (items, properties, …) that you want to check. All statements of the entities will be checked. Can be combined with claimid to check some individual statements of other entities.
 * claimid Statement ID(s) of individual statements that you want to check. Can be combined with id, but the statements listed here need not belong to the IDs listed there.
 * constraintid If specified, only check these constraints (otherwise: all of them). The ID of a constraint is the statement ID of the corresponding statement on the property where the constraint is defined.
 * status Only return check results with these statuses. Only requests that limit the statuses to  benefit from caching. (This is also the default value.)

The output format of the wbcheckconstraints action is based on the Wikibase JSON format, but in every place where the Wikibase JSON format can contain a snak, the wbcheckconstraints response instead contains an object with members  and. is the hash of the corresponding snak, and  is a list of the individual constraint reports for that snak.

Embedded in the output structure are individual constraint report results, which are objects with the following members:
 * : The main status of the result. The main statuses are,  , and   (violation of non-mandatory constraint). Other statuses include   (entity is an exception to the constraint),   (unimplemented or unknown constraint),   (parameters of the constraint definition are broken), and   (constraint check skipped on deprecated statement). While the API is still evolving, other statuses may be added without prior notice.
 * : The property ID of the property of the snak being checked, which is also the property on which the constraint is defined.
 * : An object with the following members:
 * : The ID of the constraint, which is the statement ID of the constraint statement that defines the constraint.
 * : The constraint type, which is an item ID.
 * : The label of the item with the ID given in, in the user's language.
 * : A link to a help page for the constraint type.


 * : A human-readable message explaining the result (mainly in case of a violation), in HTML format.
 * : The statement ID being checked, if the result belongs to the main snak of a statement. This member is absent on check results for qualifiers, references, and any other snaks that aren't main snaks of saved statements.
 * : If this optional member is present and contains a truthy value, the result was cached. The value may be an object with a  member, which indicates how outdated the value might be, in seconds.

Token
An Edit token is required to make edits. This token can be obtained through query&meta=tokens, or by the deprecated action=tokens. See also Manual:Edit token.

Revision
The API uses revision ids for edit collision detection. If the revision id is known from an previous reply, page load or similar, then pass on the revision to the edit. Without the revision id it is not possible to detect edit collisions in a reliable way. If there is an edit collision the requester must acquire a newer revision id to be able to continue. This typically involves requesting wbgetentities for the item in question, and then storing (and using) the revision from the entry.

Errors
Possible errors for all modules can be found at, for example wbeditentity

"Expected" errors will will have a standardized form: The servedby is given unconditionally for error messages, but could be missing for some less than fatal errors. In some cases error messages can be appended to a success and be called warning(s).
 * ตัวอย่าง :

All error messages from the Wikibase modules should be internationalized (i18n) and localized (l10n), but note that error messages from the base API system may not be localized. The user language for the logged in user (usually the same as in the web interface) will be the default for error messages. You can override this by supplying  in the URL query string

Do not test the info value for a particular error, instead use the code value as this will remain independent of localization.

An internationalized error message that isn't localized as it should will have additional angle brackets. With correctly localized error message the angle brackets will go away and the info string will print out in clear text. Assuming the user is logged in and use English language it will print as something like the following. Switching to Norwegian in the Special:Preferences or by appending  it will change the text of the info string to a localized variant, while the code string remains constant. A lot of error messages are not properly localized.
 * ตัวอย่าง :

สำเร็จ
Can be removed since all normal calls will return data of some kind, unless there is an error condition.

If a success is achieved it will have the following form when the

The interpretation of the value for success can be dependent on the actual parameters in the call, but usually it is a boolean that is type casted to an integer. Its meaning is that every previous tests evaluated to true. If the number is 0 (zero) any additional values might be wrong.

There might be additional values in the structure after a successful call.
