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

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
