python - Extract data from Wikidata in Python

Question

With the following code it is possible to extract data from entities in Wikidata:

import requests

API_ENDPOINT = "https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php"

query = "wikipedia"

params = {
    'action': 'wbsearchentities',
    'format': 'json',
    'language': 'en',
    'search': query
}

r = requests.get(API_ENDPOINT, params = params)

print(r.json()['search'][0])

and the output is:

{'repository': '', 'id': 'Q52', 'concepturi': 'http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q52', 'title': 'Q52', 'pageid': 170, 'url': '//www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q52', 'label': 'Wikipedia', 'description': 'free online encyclopedia that anyone can edit', 'match': {'type': 'label', 'language': 'en', 'text': 'Wikipedia'}}

But going to the concepturi 'http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q52 I see more information than reported here in the json file, specifically I am interested on motto text field.

How could I get more information from Wikidata? (this is an example more could be shown where the query outputs less info than contained in Wikidata).

你可以使用 wikidata python 模块qwikidata

from qwikidata.sparql  import return_sparql_query_results

query_string = """
        SELECT $WDid
         WHERE {
          ?WDid (wdt:P279)* wd:Q4022
        }"""

res = return_sparql_query_results(query_string)

for row in res["results"]["bindings"]:
   print(row["yourFieldName"]["value"])
