Shiny for Python app to access Wikidata

This is a simple demo in Shiny for Python to access data on Wikidata for politicians and their closes relatives as an attempt to get data on politically exposed persons.

This is also a python package managed with uv and automated to be deployed to Posit Connect. To run it clone the repository and install the package with:

uv sync

Then, run the app with:

uv run uvicorn pyshinywikidata.app:app

Deploy to Posit Connect

Deployment to Posit Connect (for more see: Git-Backed Content) is automated by the github actions workflow deploy.yml. Since we use uv to manage the project, the requirements.txt and manifest.json files needed by Posit, are created automatically and only added to the deploy branch.
