get_random_item and get_random_property allow you to retrieve the data
associated with randomly-selected Wikidata items and properties, respectively. As with
other WikidataR code, custom print methods are available; use str
to manipulate and see the underlying structure of the data.
Usage
get_random_item(limit = 1, ...)
get_random_property(limit = 1, ...)
Arguments
- limit
how many random items to return. 1 by default, but can be higher.
- \dots
arguments to pass to dehttr:ink[httr::GET]GET.
See also
get_item for selecting a specific item or property,
or find_item for using search functionality to pull out
item or property IDs where the descriptions or aliases match a particular
search term.
Examples
if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
#Random item
random_item <- get_random_item()
#Random property
random_property <- get_random_property()
} # }
