pyscp is a python library for interacting with wikidot-hosted websites. The library is mainly intended for use by the administrative staff of the www.scp-wiki.net website, and has a host of feature exclusive to it. However, the majority of the core functionality should be applicalbe to any wikidot-based site.
Download the latest code, open the containing folder, and run the following command:
pip install . --user
Done.
import pyscp
wiki = pyscp.wikidot.Wiki('www.scp-wiki.net')
p = wiki('scp-837')
print(
'"{}" has a rating of {}, {} revisions, and {} comments.'
.format(p.title, p.rating, len(p.history), len(p.comments)))"SCP-837: Multiplying Clay" has a rating of 108, 14 revisions, and 54 comments.
You can access other sites as well:
ru_wiki = pyscp.wikidot.Wiki('scpfoundation.ru')
p = ru_wiki('scp-837')
print('"{}" was created by {} on {}.'.format(p.title, p.author, p.created))"SCP-837 - Глина умножения" was created by Gene R on 2012-12-26 11:12:13.
If the site doesn't use a custom domain, you can use the name of the site instead of the full url. E.g. Wiki('scpsandbox2') is the same as Wiki('scpsandbox2.wikidot.com').
wiki = pyscp.wikidot.Wiki('scpsandbox2')
wiki.auth('example_username', 'example_password')
p = wiki('test')
last_revision = p.history[-1].number
p.edit(
source='= This is centered **text** that uses Wikidot markup.',
title="you can skip the title if you don't want changing it",
#you can leave out the comment too, but that'd be rude
comment='testing automated editing')
print(p.text) # see if it worked
p.revert(last_revision) # let's revert it back to what it were.This is centered text that uses Wikidot markup.
When working with large number of pages, it could be faster to create a snapshot of the site than to download the pages one by one. Snapshots are optimized to download a large amount of data in the shortest possible time using multithreading.
import pyscp
creator = pyscp.snapshot.SnapshotCreator('www.scp-wiki.net', 'snapshot_file.db')
creator.take_snapshot(forums=False)
# that's where we wait half an hour for it to finishOnce a snapshot is created, you can use snapshot.Wiki to read pages same as in the first example:
wiki = pyscp.snapshot.Wiki('www.scp-wiki.net', 'snapshot_file.db')
p = wiki('scp-9005-2')
print(
'"{}" has a rating of {}, was created by {}, and is awesome.'
.format(p.title, p.rating, p.author))
print('Other pages by {}:'.format(p.author))
for other in wiki.list_pages(author=p.author):
print(
'{} (rating: {}, created: {})'
.format(other.title, other.rating, other.created))Page "SCP-9005-2" has a rating of 80, was created by yellowdrakex, and is awesome.
