Hi Jackie,

I would not use SPARQL for this since you don't have a question or
something to reason about to form a query.
You have a known identifier and are asking for all it's statements/claims
(we'll that can be done via SPARQL but I wouldn't advise it since it will
be slower and a bit wasteful of resources)
Instead, just use one of the API's and as Fariz suggested you can even use
the simple dereferenceable URI's (per-item access Linked Data URI's
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Data_access>) or the Mediawiki
API's wbgetentites
<https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=help&modules=wbgetentities> to
get all the info about an entity.
