Re: [Wikidata-l] Autocomplete API for a search field in an external app

2014-04-29 Thread Thomas Steiner 
Hi Maxime,

After some quick reverse engineering of the site with the Chrome
Developer Tools, here's the API it is using:

http://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php
?callback=[YOUR CALLBACK NAME]
&action=wbsearchentities
&format=json
&language=en
&type=item
&continue=0
&_=[TIMESTAMP (as a cache buster)]
&search=[YOUR QUERY]

If you don't need the callback, then the API is as follows (note the
missing cache buster):

http://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php
&action=wbsearchentities
&format=json
&language=en
&type=item
&continue=0
&search=[YOUR QUERY]

Hope this helps.

Best,
Tom

?action=wbsearchentities (replace '&' with '?', copy and paste
oversight, sorry).

Hi,

the autocomplete box is using the wbsearchentities api. You could try to
copy the jquery.wikibase.entityselector.js from
wikibase/lib/resources/jquery.wikibase it looks like it works independently
from wikibase. It needs the jqueryui suggester.

best regards,

Christian

[Wikidata-l] Autocomplete API for a search field in an external app

2014-04-28 Thread Maxime Lathuilière 
Hi,

I'm looking for a way to reproduce the autocomplete on wikidata search
field in an external app (to tag resources with wikidata entities ids),
but so far I couldn't find what could allow me to do this in the API doc.
In a little experiment
, I tried to use the
API action /wbsearchentities/, but it appear to be inefficient until I
reach the full name... Is there already a way to query such an
"autocomplete API" or any plans to implement one? Or even better, is
there a way to easily re-use the wikidata search field widget? in a
non-PHP project? :D

Any clue welcome :)

Best regards,

Max
