README.md

A small python server providing authorization for edit actions on Wikidata.

Local setup

1. Install python requirements

pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Setup config.yaml

Copy config.default.yaml to config.local.yaml. You may need to add oauth consumer info, which you can apply for here. If you need a set of keys for testing purposes (running on localhost:5000), you can email me at stephen.laporte@gmail.com.

3. Run the dev server

python monumental/server.py

Test it out:

• Login: http://localhost:5000/login
• A simple Wikidata API query: http://localhost:5000/api?action=query&list=random&rnnamespace=0&rnlimit=10
• Get an edit token (with authorization): http://localhost:5000/api?action=query&meta=tokens&use_auth=true
