Introducing Wiki Topic Grapher 👾

Leverage the power of Google #NLP to retrieve entity relationships from Wikipedia URLs or topics!

• Get interactive graphs of connected entities

• Export results with entity types and salience to CSV!

Use cases

Many cool use cases!

• Research any topic then get entity associations that exist from that seed topic

• Map out related entities with your product, service or brand

• Find how well you've covered a specific topic on your website

• Differentiate your pages!
  

Stack

About the stack, it's 100% #Python! 🐍🔥

• @GCPcloud Natural Language API

• PyWikibot

• Networkx

• PyVis

• @streamlit

• Streamlit Components -> streamlit.io/components

⚒️ Still To-Do’s

• 💰 Add a budget estimator to get a sense of @GCPcloud costs!

• 🌍Add a multilingual option (currently English only)

• 📈Add on-the-fly physics controls to the network graph

• 💯Add Google KG #API to add more data (scores, etc.) (ht @LoukilAymen)
  

That code currently lays in a private repo. I should be able to make it public soon for you to re-use it in your own apps and creations! I just need to clean it a tad, remove some sensitive bits, etc.

🙌 Shout-outs

Kudos to @jroakes for the original script. Buy that man a 🍺 for his sterling contributions! -> paypal.com/paypalme/codes…

Kudos also to fellow @streamlit Creators:

• @napoles3D who told me about the PyVis lib! 🔥

• @andfanilo/@ChristianKlose3 for their precious advice! 🙏

💲 Beware on costs!

It can get expensive quickly with that Google Natural Language API!

Monitor your costs via the GCP console regularly and/or put quotas to tame that G beast! I'm planning to add a budget estimator pre-API calls. Should come handy.
