Pywikibot allows for querying, validating, and updating of Wikidata items, Wikipedia pages, statements, history, or users, by using Python libraries.
Python is a modern programming language, much used in big data projects.
It can run from a local shell, or from PAWS. It requires (advanced) programming skills.
When you would setup a private client instance, you also require advanced Linux administrator skills.
