WeKeyPedia python toolkit documentation

The wekeypedia python toolkit is a set of class and helpers that have been written during the overall wekeypedia project. It main purpose is to give back some shortcuts to the science community. We hope this work will help future data scientist and web scrappers make them win some time about the tedious part of the work, be able to spend more time on the more fun parts and conduct studies with wikipedia materials.

Its main features are :

• data retrieval from the wikipedia API and 3rd party (statistics, semantic web, etc)
• information extraction of API contents
• network modeling of graph structures included in pages architecture
• computation of various metrics (readibility, convergence, lsm, etc)
• generation of reading maps based on a recommandation system

contents:

• Information retrieval
  • Retrieve and extract information of a wikipedia page
  • Make custom queries to the wikipedia api
  • wikipedia user
• Computing metrics
  • Linguistic Style Matching
