Hey all,
I've created a very rough REST API for Wikidata and am looking for your
feedback.
* About this API:
http://queryr.wmflabs.org
* Documentation:
http://queryr.wmflabs.org/about/docs
* API root:
http://queryr.wmflabs.org/api
At present this is purely a demo. The data it serves is stale and
potentially incomplete, the endpoints and formats they use are very much
liable to change, the server setup is not reliable and I'm not 100% sure
I'll continue with this little project.
The main thing I'm going for with this API compared to the existing one is
greater ease of use for common use cases. Several factors make this a lot
easier to do in a new API than in the existing one: no need the serve all
use cases, no need to retain compatibility with existing users and no
framework imposed restrictions. You can read more about the difference on
the website.
You are invited to comment on the concept and on the open questions
mentioned on the website.
Cheers
