How to run?

1. Save SPARQL query to scripts directory. Every script can have a list of params which are of the format ${n} where n is a non-negative integer. Example:

   # Returns all the descendants of a person.
   # Params:
   # 1. person id (example: Q1001)
   
   SELECT ?descendant ?descendantLabel
   WHERE{
     ?descendant (wdt:P25|wdt:P22)+ wd:${0}.
     SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "en". }
   }
   

2. Run:

$ python3 query_runner.py <script-name> <param-1> <param-2> ... <param-n>

Example:

$ python3 query_runner.py descendants Q1001

Output:

  descendant                                 descendantLabel
