Description Jiří Sedláček 2014-08-26 23:37:01 UTC

Hello,
at time of deployment new version of Wikidata files (26/08/2014) i get a "key error" Exception in PyWikiBot (wikipedia.py, line 5058) - which doesn't find key "entity" in return data from Wikimedia APi.

There is err in API (for 98 %), in minutes before this err script runs normally for 45 000 edits.

Thanks.
J.

I think the Wikidata serialization broke whatever compat was relying on.

Comment 2 Amir Ladsgroup 2014-08-27 00:05:09 UTC

The new system literally broke anything, I think Wikidata people should make an announcement about API output changes but it seems this change was not intentional and they are working on it to fix it ASAP, if they don't want to work on it. I will write a wrapper in pywikibot to make the output of wbgetentity the same as before.

It was announced... https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikidata-tech/2014-August/000548.html

The format of wbgetentities wasn't changed afaik.

So It was my mistake to miss that. lots of e-mail :(
I checked it changed content that wbgetentities returns. See an example:
http://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=wbgetentities&ids=Q1700&format=json

I agree - in new version is lost key "entity" with "item/value" property.

We're working on a fix right now.
