Hi all, Unfortunately this migration has made the Wikidata reconciliation service very unreliable. This comes from the hosting provider (WMF Toolforge), who initiated the migration ([1], [2]).
Because I have no way to mitigate the issue in Toolforge myself, I have set up an instance on a server of mine: https://wikidata.reconci.link/ You can add it in OpenRefine as usual with https://wikidata.reconci.link/en/api This instance should be faster and more reliable than the previous ones. Please report any issues you discover, though. This is a transitional measure: I will keep hosting this instance as long as necessary, but I would prefer it to be run by an organization, rather than on my own server. Apologies for the disruption this has caused to the community, and thank you to the toolforge team for hosting the service until now!
