Request actions

Getting data in wptools centers on request "actions". We make API requests to get data, and then we assign values from the data to selected "data" attribute members. Most actions map to a get_{action} method that attempts to get as much information as possible through that API entry point. We cache the end-to-end query data (request URL, HTTP response metadata or info, and the full response) in the cache attribute of each object. There is typically far more information in the cached response than what is exposed by listing page data with the core show() method.

Page actions

The methods below are made available to a page object by the core module. The fetch module ultimately forms these requests and executes them.

claims	get_claims	Wikidata:API action=wbgetentities request for Q entity labels
imageinfo	get_imageinfo	Mediawiki API:Imageinfo request for image info
parse	get_parse	MediaWiki:API action=parse request for parsetree/infobox data
