Namespace Property

edit

For the cmnamespace property, does it take the namespace's number of its name? --(Havvy) 97.120.59.79 01:12, 17 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

It takes one or more numbers: for example, cmnamespace=0|1|2|3. --R'n'B (talk) 11:47, 18 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Typo in properties?

edit

I scratched my head on using this on Wikimedia Commons, but then found that properties such cmtype are actually named gcmtype. -- (talk) 10:07, 27 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

This is standard for any property retrieved using "generator=foo" as opposed to "titles=foo|bar". See API:Query#Generators for details. --R'n'B (talk) 01:40, 3 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Commons: gcmprop

edit

This seems to be stuck on default (ids|titles) and does not provide any other returns. Example where timestamp is a requested property but not returned. -- (talk) 22:42, 28 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Are we able to query for a keyword under a given category? For example, I would like to query for space until the category keyboard.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.75.250.118 (talkcontribs) 21:53, 27 May 2017

PARAMS = {
    "action": "query",
    "cmtitle": "Category:Physics",
    "cmlimit": "20",
    "cmcontinue":"21",
    "list": "categorymembers",
    "format": "json"
}

but i am getting the error:

   "KeyError: 'query' "

how can i solve this issue?--Info-farmer (talk) 07:02, 17 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

a better response schema

edit

It would be better if the main response schema would look something like:

"query": {
	"categorymembers": {
		"<cmtitle/cmpageid>": [
			...
		]
	}
}

Certain categories are timing out

edit

I have SPARQL code to generate Wikidata lists, and I've come across a few categories that are timing out the query, without any clear differences amognst them to justify it:

Versus working categories:

Exclude a category

edit

Is it possible to request pages that are members of a certain category BUT aren't members of another? 2800:810:49E:8CE3:1855:7B42:8E71:B741 17:58, 3 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
