How to fix the error Unrecognized value for parameter "props": sitelinks/zhwiki
When I request the API url: https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=wbgetentities&format=json&props=labels%7Csitelinks/zhwiki&ids=Q21007575&languages=zh , I met the error message:
{
"warnings": {
"wbgetentities": {
"*": "Unrecognized value for parameter \"props\": sitelinks/zhwiki"
}
},
"entities": {
"Q21007575": {
"type": "item",
"id": "Q21007575",
"labels": {}
}
},
"success": 1
}
Root cause
- The page did not have the property sitelinks/zhwiki
Solution
- You can change the URL parameter sitelinks/zhwiki to sitelinks e.g. https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=wbgetentities&format=json&props=labels%7Csitelinks&ids=Q21007575&languages=zh
