9.1 Linked open data API testing
This notebook experiments with querying linked open data in a Jupyter Notebook rendered through Quarto.
The Python code below queries the NFDI4Culture Wikibase at https://wikibase.wbworkshop.tibwiki.io/wiki/Main_Page and returns data based on the ID inputted by the user.
This executes in Jupyter Notebook which is able to run the Python code and provides a static output when saved in the Notebook. It cannot be executed dynamically in Quarto since the Quarto front-end does not support stdin input requests.
To reset the output, run ‘Kernel > Restart kernel and clear all outputs’.
