Hey,
given you have titles of Wikipedia articles and you know from which
Wikipedia, you could easily use the Wikidata wbgetentities API module [1].
Here's a sample request for some random German monarchs [2].
Take also a closer look at the "props" parameter which allows you to
specify which information you want to get back from each entity.
HTH,
cheers, tobi

Hi everyone,
I’ve been in the situation quite often (edit-a-thons; various to do lists)
where I had a list of terms (most usually names of a few hundreds of
people, or titles of Wikipedia articles), where I wanted to do a quick
search on Wikidata to retrieve each of these concept’s Q number.
Does anyone know of a tool that helps me make this easier? Enter a list
of, say, 100 of these search terms, and receive Q number suggestions for
each of them? I’ve looked around on wmflabs but have not found anything in
that direction (also not with the help of Hay’s awesome tool directory
<http://tools.wmflabs.org/hay/directory/#/>).
Till now, I’ve done all these searches manually - use an excel sheet, look
for each term individually, enter Q number for each term - quite accurate
but very time-consuming!
Would appreciate all help/tips !
Thanks! Sandra (User:Spinster)
