An R API wrapper for MediaWiki, optimised for the Wikimedia Foundation MediaWiki instances, such as Wikipedia.
Author: Os Keyes
License: MIT
Status: Stable
WikipediR is a wrapper around the MediaWiki API, optimised for the Wikimedia Foundation’s production sites, such as Wikipedia. It is written in and for R, a statistical environment and associated programming language in heavy use by HCI researchers that, somehow, escaped having an API wrapper until now.
For the most recent version, on CRAN:
install.packages("WikipediR")For the development version:
library(devtools)
devtools::install_github("ironholds/WikipediR")WikipediR currently lacks: * Quite a few possible API calls; * Direct authentication, through MediaWiki or OAuth.
These issues will be solved in time; if there is a particular feature you want, open an issue here on github: I can’t prioritise if I don’t know what people are trying to do :).
These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
