`.download()`: `session.to_namespace('Category Name', 'Category')` needed
hugolpz opened this issue · comments
Given core script.js :
const Wikiapi= require('wikiapi');
(async () => {
var targetwiki = new Wikiapi('commons');
try {
// await targetwiki.download(targetwiki.to_namespace('Lingua_Libre_pronunciation-cmn', 'Category'), { directory: './downloads',max_threads: 4 });
await targetwiki.download(
'Lingua_Libre_pronunciation-cmn',
{
directory: './',
max_threads: 4,
page_filter(page_data) {
console.log('@Yug: ',JSON.stringify(page_data))
return true;
}
});
} catch (error) { console.log(`Download error : ${JSON.stringify(error)}`) }
})();
It failed to download, and simply returned :
yug@yug-k401ub:~/Documents/WikiapiJS-Eggs$ node ./wiki-download-many-category_tree_and_files.js
get_API_parameters: Cache commonswiki: path=query+siteinfo
get_API_parameters: Cache commonswiki: path=query+imageinfo
(Also, I don't understand the role of page_filter()
so i neutralised it)
Actual solution, add Category:
to the Category's name :
await targetwiki.download("Category:Lingua_Libre_pronunciation-cmn", { /* same options here */ } );
Also, allow me to facepalm myself.
