API:Generador de ideas de artículos
Esta página es parte de la documentación de la API de acciones de MediaWiki. |
Visión general
En este tutorial, encontrarás una demo de una aplicación generadora de ideas para artículos que sugiere artículos de varias categorías que todavía no existan en la Wikipedia en inglés.
Este tutorial te enseñará cómo realizar esto por medio de:
- Entorno de trabajo de Python y Flask
- MediaWiki Action API's Parse and Links module
Proceso paso a paso para construir esta aplicación:
Paso 1: Configurar el entorno de desarrollo de Python y Flask
Para configurar el entorno de desarrollo de Python para una aplicación de Flask, necesitarás instalar Python, crear un entorno virtual e instalar Flask.
Aprende más sobre las diferencias entre Python2 y Python3 aquí. Para instalar Python3 en tu máquina local, sigue las instrucciones paso a paso en estas guías de instalación.
Aquí se muestra cómo configurar el entorno de desarrollo para construir la aplicación:
$ mkdir article-ideas-generator
$ cd article-ideas-generator/
Esto creará un nuevo directorio y se ubicará en él.
$ python3 --version #Python 3.6.5
Este comando revisa tu versión de Python
$ python3 -m venv venv
Este comando creará un entorno virtual llamado 'venv'
$ source venv/bin/activate
Esto activará el entorno virtual
$ pip install Flask requests
Este comando instalará el paquete de Flask con todas sus dependencias
|
Paso 2: Crear una aplicación de Flask simple
Mostrar una página estática simple
Coloca el siguiente código en $HOME/article-ideas-generator/articles.py
#!/usr/bin/python3

Drop this one line of code <h1>Article ideas generator</h1>
in a HTML file inside the templates
folder:
$article-ideas-generator/templates/articles.html
render_template
method which renders the template named articles.html
from the templates
directory.Next run your Flask app with the command python articles.py
and open http://127.0.0.1:5000/
to view your app in the browser.
You should be able to see "Article ideas generator" in your browser window.
Style your app
Let's do some app styling.
To do so, add link tags to load an external and internal stylesheet.
External stylesheet, in this case, is the URL of a CSS file for the font Amatic
.
Replace the existing code in $article-ideas-generator/templates/articles.html
with the following:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//tools-static.wmflabs.org/fontcdn/css?family=Amatic+SC:700">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//tools-static.wmflabs.org/fontcdn/css?family=Josefin+Sans">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/static/style.css">
<h1>Article ideas generator</h1>
<p>Some ideas for topics to write articles on:</p>
Place the following code in $HOME/article-ideas-generator/static/style.css
h1 {
color: black;
font-family: 'Amatic SC', cursive;
font-size: 4.5em;
font-weight: normal;
}
p {
font-family: 'Josefin Sans', sans-serif;
font-size: 1.4em;
}

Step 3: Fetch page sections from Wikipedia:Requested articles
Let's write some code in a get_page_sections()
function in $HOME/article-ideas-generator/articles.py
to fetch page sections from Wikipedia:Requested articles.
This function takes page name as an argument and makes a GET
request to the Action API to parse sections of the page.
API call consists of an endpoint https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php
and query string parameters.
Some of the key parameters are:
action=parse
- module to parse content on a pagepage=page
- page title to parseprop=sections
- tells which piece of information to retrieve, in this example it is sections
def get_page_sections(page):
""" Get page sections
"""
params = {
"action": "parse",
"page": page,
"prop": "sections",
"format": "json"
}
res = SESSION.get(url=API_ENDPOINT, params=params)
data = res.json()
if 'error' in data:
return
parsed_sections = data and data['parse'] and data['parse']['sections']
sections = []
for section in parsed_sections:
if section['toclevel'] == 1:
sections.append(section['line'])
return sections
Next, extend the Python Flask route /
in $HOME/article-ideas-generator/articles.py
to call the function defined above and also pass the results returned by the function to render_template
.
APP = Flask(__name__)
SESSION = requests.Session()
API_ENDPOINT = 'https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php'
PAGE = {}
@APP.route('/')
def index():
""" Displays the index page accessible at '/'
"""
global PAGE
results = []
PAGE = {'name': 'Wikipedia:Requested_articles', 'type': 'category'}
results = get_page_sections(PAGE['name'])
return render_template(
"articles.html",
results=results,
pagetype=PAGE['type'])
Place the following Jinja template code in $HOME/article-ideas-generator/templates/articles.html
.
It dynamically renders an array of category buttons based on page sections obtained via the API above.
{% if results %}
<p>Choose a {{ pagetype }}</p>
<form method="POST">
{% for pagename in results %}
<button name="{{ pagetype }}" class="{{ pagetype }}" value="{{ pagename }}">{{ pagename }}</button>
{% endfor %}
{% else %}
<p>Ooooops! We couldn't find any results.</p>
<button onclick="location.href='/'">Start over</button>
</form>
{% endif %}
Place the following code in $HOME/article-ideas-generator/static/style.css
for button styling.
div {
left: 10%;
position: absolute;
right: 10%;
text-align: center;
top: 5%;
}
button {
background-color: #06b6c9;
border: none;
border-radius: 5px;
color: white;
font-size: 1.2em;
margin: 5px;
padding: 20px;
}
|
Step 4: Get more sections based on user selection
Based on a category or section selected by the user in the previous step, we want to fetch subsections from Wikipedia:Requested articles.
Extend the Python Flask route /
in $HOME/article-ideas-generator/articles.py
to handle POST requests.
You can do so by adding both GET
and POST
in the methods
argument list in the route decorator.
You can then obtain category selection available in a dictionary
format from the request
object, which is passed to get_page_sections()
function for further processing.
# Modify the APP route to support both GET and POST requests
@APP.route('/', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
# Add these lines in the index() function
if request.method == 'POST':
PAGE['name'] = PAGE['name'] + '/' + \
request.form.to_dict()['category']
PAGE['type'] = 'subcategory'
|
Step 5: Collect and display articles with missing links
Let's write some code in a get_red_links()
function in $HOME/article-ideas-generator/articles.py
to fetch around 20 articles with missing links on a page.
This function takes page name as an argument, makes a GET
request to the Action API, and returns all links embedded on that page.
From further extraction, you can obtain those links that are missing and don't yet exist on English Wikipedia.
The API call consists of an endpoint https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php
and query string parameters.
Some of the key parameters are:
action=query
- module to query informationtitles=title
- page title to collect linksgenerator=links
- query module's submodulelinks
used as a generator module to get a set of links embedded on a pagegpllimit=20
- number of links to fetch
def get_red_links(title):
""" Get missing links on a page
"""
params = {
"action": "query",
"titles": title,
"generator": "links",
"gpllimit": 20,
"format": "json"
}
res = SESSION.get(url=API_ENDPOINT, params=params)
data = res.json()
pages = data and data['query'] and data['query']['pages']
links = []
for page in pages.values():
if 'missing' in page:
links.append(page['title'])
return links
Next, extend the if
block for the POST
method in the /
route in $HOME/article-ideas-generator/articles.py
to call the get_red_links()
function if the page from which the request is issued is of type subcategory
.
if request.method == 'POST':
if 'category' in request.form:
PAGE['name'] = PAGE['name'] + '/' + request.form.to_dict()['category']
PAGE['type'] = 'subcategory'
results = get_page_sections(PAGE['name'])
elif 'subcategory' in request.form:
PAGE['name'] = PAGE['name'] + '#' + request.form.to_dict()['subcategory']
PAGE['type'] = 'links'
results = get_red_links(PAGE['name'])
Place the following Jinja template code in $HOME/article-ideas-generator/templates/articles.html
.
It dynamically renders a list of links using data obtained via the API above.
{% if 'links' in pagetype %}
<p>Some ideas for topics to write articles on:</p>
{% for link in results %}
<a href="//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title={{ link }}&action=edit&redlink=1">{{ link }}</a><br>
{% endfor %}
<button onclick="location.href='/'">Take me to the homepage</button>
{% endif %}
