Wikimedia Bot

Source Code

Python Project, implementing a simple bot that queries wikipedia’s ‘High Quality Image’ tag and posts one to BlueSky, Twitter, and Mastodon.

• Bsky
• Twitter
• Mastodon

TODO:

• I think the date filtering is a little borked still/not truly random?
• Gotta figure out why it seems to be posting more and more sporadically (likely related to #1)
• It looks like wikimedia is throwing back a 429 error, which is funky. We aren’t sending many requests to download (BUT we might be sending a bunch as part of the lookup?)
