Wikidata Tree Generator

Requirements

This project has been realized with python 3.8.

Install dependencies : python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

python3 main.py {{configuration file}} {{wikidata entity id}} {{output file}}

• For configuration file see : https://github.com/lmallez/wikidata-tree-generator/blob/master/configuration.dist.yaml
• To find the wikidata id of a character you have to go to https://www.wikidata.org, search for the character in question and select its ID (the ID starts with a Q and can be found in the url and to the right of the character's name).

Explanations

In order to generate a family tree the program uses the mother, father and child properties of wikidata.

The tree can be generated in different ways:

• Ancestors : load the ancestors of the character.
• Descendants: charges the character's descendants
• Classic : loads the ancestors and descendants of the character
• Full: Loads parents and children with all the characters in the tree (can take a long time)

Examples

All the graphs shown here are generated in the gramps software which allows to import the gedcom made by the program.
