Get list of profiles that I manage using the Wikitree API

Question

Can I use the Wikitree API to return a list of (or the Biographies of) all profiles that I manage?

Answer 1

Hi Joel. See

https://github.com/wikitree/wikitree-api/blob/main/getWatchlist.md

This API call should return information about profiles on your current watchlist (including biographies if requested), unlike WikiTree Plus queries which can be up to a week out of date and do not provide biography text.

Answer 2

You have a large Watchlist, so maybe that is why you are asking.  You should have less than 5000 profiles in your Watchlist.  Larger than that can cause problems with reports.

You can find the profiles in your Watchlist, by selecting Watchlist from the drop down under 'My Wikitree'.

You can see the profiles that you manage using Wikitree + Query using the Manager keyword, which I used in that Query.  When you load that query, you have to select the Blue button to Get Profiles. .  You can change the Sort by to one of the other options.  If you want to create an exportable comma delimited file, change the Format from HTML to Excel.
