A light/simple Python wrapper for the WikiWho API.
The WikiWho API provides the first editor (author) of Wikipedia words (tokens). It also provides the history of each of the tokens, i.e. in which revisions (and which editors) was the token (re)inserted or removed. The API is based on the WikiWho algorithm (~95% acc.).

Requires python >= 3.6
pip install wikiwho_wrapper
First, you need an instance of the WikiWho.
from wikiwho_wrapper import WikiWho
ww = WikiWho() # or WikiWho(USERNAME, PASSWORD)
You can either use api with the JSON (raw format from wikiwho-api.wmcloud.org)
response = ww.api.all_content("Bioglass")
Or you can use the dataview to obtain a pandas DataFrame representation of the data
dataView = ww.dv.all_content("Bioglass")
Note that all the methods, and classes can receive parameters. All the parameters of the API are currently supported. For now, you can check them directly in the code.
