Hi Julius, I have also a pointer on the Rest API topic (in development) since August 1st . I would like to help you in your investigation, but first at all I have to make sure we do focus on the same project. I started with the mail posted on August 1st from wikidata-tech mailing list (see after). This project is a new Rest API version (a re-design) of an existing one (since 2020) with the goal to access the wikibase structure (items & properties, referenced as wikidata)
[Wikidata-tech] You can now check out the current development state of the upcoming REST API for Wikibase So do we focus on the same set of functions ? Dominique L.
