For example, in d:Q513, the coordinate location is set to a longitude and latitude, and there is no altitude to set (in this property). However, when making MW API request, I got the following value for this property
... "P625": [ { "mainsnak": { "snaktype": "value", "property": "P625", "hash": "72a03bd4ecbba1e7d0e0dfc2779ceccf9b2e0bcb", "datavalue": { "value": { "latitude": 27.988055555556, "longitude": 86.925277777778, "altitude": null, "precision": 0.00027777777777778, "globe": "http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q2" }, "type": "globecoordinate" }, "datatype": "globe-coordinate" }, ...
Apparently there is an altitude field in the JSON response. I looked up source code in pywikibot, and got
class Coordinate(_WbRepresentation): """ Class for handling and storing Coordinates. For now its just being used for DataSite, but in the future we can use it for the GeoData extension. """ _items = ('lat', 'lon', 'entity') @_deprecate_arg('entity', 'globe_item') def __init__(self, lat, lon, alt=None, precision=None, globe=None, typ='', name='', dim=None, site=None, globe_item=None): """ Represent a geo coordinate. @param lat: Latitude @type lat: float @param lon: Longitude @type lon: float @param alt: Altitude? TODO FIXME <---- @param precision: precision @type precision: float
I'm not sure what to do with this field in JSON. Can I just ignore this field in any case? Thanks.
p.s.
I'm not quite sure where I should go if I were to have some general Wikibase (API) questions. Could you please give me some guidance? Thanks :-)
