I get this exception stack trace as my error code when I put a prefixed id for property id in the set qualifier api module. This needs proper error handling and such to catch this type of stuff. Bots should not be able to cause exceptions like this. )'{"error":{"code":"internal_api_error_MWException","info":"Exception Caught: $numericId needs to be an integer","*":"\\n\\n#0 /var/www/common/wikibase-repo/extensions/Wikibase/DataModel/DataModel/Entity/EntityId.php(286): Wikibase\\\\EntityId->__construct(\'\\"\', \'\\"\')\\n#1 /var/www/common/wikibase-repo/extensions/DataValues/DataValues/includes/DataValueFactory.php(102): Wikibase\\\\EntityId::newFromArray(\'\\"mp8kSfmPw5m2\\"\')\\n#2 /var/www/common/wikibase-repo/extensions/Wikibase/DataModel/DataModel/Entity/Property.php(175): DataValues\\\\DataValueFactory->newDataValue(\'wikibase-entity...\', \'\\"mp8kSfmPw5m2\\"\')\\n#3 /var/www/common/wikibase-repo/extensions/Wikibase/DataModel/DataModel/Snak/PropertyValueSnak.php(151): Wikibase\\\\Property->newDataValue(\'\\"mp8kSfmPw5m2\\"\')\\n#4 /var/www/common/wikibase-repo/extensions/Wikibase/DataModel/DataModel/Snak/SnakFactory.php(53): Wikibase\\\\PropertyValueSnak::newFromPropertyValue(Object(Wikibase\\\\EntityId), \'\\"mp8kSfmPw5m2\\"\')\\n#5 /var/www/common/wikibase-repo/extensions/Wikibase/repo/includes/api/SetQualifier.php(262): Wikibase\\\\SnakFactory->newSnak(Object(Wikibase\\\\EntityId), \'value\', \'\\"mp8kSfmPw5m2\\"\')\\n#6 /var/www/common/wikibase-repo/extensions/Wikibase/repo/includes/api/SetQualifier.php(181): Wikibase\\\\Api\\\\SetQualifier->addQualifier(Object(Wikibase\\\\SnakList))\\n#7 /var/www/common/wikibase-repo/extensions/Wikibase/repo/includes/api/SetQualifier.php(162): Wikibase\\\\Api\\\\SetQualifier->updateQualifiers(Object(Wikibase\\\\SnakList))\\n#8 /var/www/common/wikibase-repo/extensions/Wikibase/repo/includes/api/SetQualifier.php(71): Wikibase\\\\Api\\\\SetQualifier->doSetQualifier(Object(Wikibase\\\\Item))\\n#9 /var/www/common/wikibase-repo/includes/api/ApiMain.php(840): Wikibase\\\\Api\\\\SetQualifier->execute()\\n#10 /var/www/common/wikibase-repo/includes/api/ApiMain.php(380): ApiMain->executeAction()\\n#11 /var/www/common/wikibase-repo/includes/api/ApiMain.php(351): ApiMain->executeActionWithErrorHandling()\\n#12 /var/www/common/wikibase-repo/api.php(73): ApiMain->execute()\\n#13 {main}\\n\\n"}}'
so, property does take a prefixed id per https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Wikibase/API#wbsetqualifier I did something else wrong, gave it the wrong thing array ( 'action' => 'wbsetqualifier', 'claim' => 'q2$4554c0f4-47b2-1cd9-2db9-aa270064c9f3', 'property' => 'p2', 'value' => '"mp8kSfmPw5m2"', 'snaktype' => 'value', ) p2 being a wikibase-item property, though I thought it was a string property on my test wiki.
After further investigation, the reason that I encountered this is because the data value handling in the addQualifier method of SetQualifier did not json decode my input. This is one issue. Related to this, I think the api is also doing insufficient validation and error handling of the data values. The api user should *not* see an exception in the api error output. Any exceptions due to invalid value input should be caught and translated into a proper api error message and code.
