About:
wikibase-cli is a command-line interface tool designed for interacting with Wikibase instances, including Wikidata. It allows users to perform CRUD operations on entities, execute SPARQL queries, and manage data directly from the terminal, streamlining data entry and retrieval workflows.
Key Features:
  • Full CRUD support for Wikidata items and properties
  • Built-in SPARQL query execution and result formatting
  • Support for multiple Wikibase instances via configuration
  • Interactive mode for guided entity editing
Use Cases:
  • Batch editing Wikidata items using scripts
  • Quickly retrieving entity data for local processing
  • Automating data synchronization between local databases and Wikidata
Alternatives:
  • wdq – wdq is an older tool focused primarily on SPARQL queries, whereas wikibase-cli offers broader CRUD capabilities.
  • Python Wikibase API libraries – Python libraries require writing code, while wikibase-cli provides a ready-to-use CLI for immediate tasks.
