Re: [Wikidata] REST API for Wikidata

Hey all, I've made a number of changes based on your feedback that are now live: * TL;DR: http://queryr.wmflabs.org/api/items/Q64 * The data is now indexed by property id rather than property label * The data sections now contain a property map with properties "label", "id" and "url" * Values of

Re: [Wikidata] REST API for Wikidata

Hey, Conal, thanks for explaining. The items are indeed not linked. Indeed, the current format hides the fact that they are items altogether. Perhaps this is going a step too far, and it is better to take an approach similar to that of Hay: still have a dedicated wikibase-item data type for which

I agree it would be cool to use some standard format as an api output! Am 02.12.2015 um 11:10 schrieb Martynas Jusevičius: And if the data serialization is JSON, why not use JSON-LD which is all the rage these days? http://www.w3.org/TR/json-ld/ On Wed, Dec 2, 2015 at 8:27 AM, Conal Tuohy

Re: [Wikidata] REST API for Wikidata

Hi Jeroen I was interested to take a look at your API but I was surprised to see it described as REST. It doesn't look like hypertext to me. In a REST API, related resources should be represented using hyperlinks. Conal On 2 December 2015 at 09:23, Jeroen De Dauw wrote:

Re: [Wikidata] REST API for Wikidata

Hoi, You are right. However, Hay was critiqued for his approach. Arguably he is absolutely using the right approach for his use case. When you state that people have to go back to Wikidata, it is easier to search for a label than it is to search for an ID. When you are developing software and you
