- wikidata entry: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q161234 - "logo image" property pointing to: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:0_A.D._logo.png However... that's a HTML page... How do I get a reference to the .png file? In this case https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1c/0_A.D._logo.png Thanks.

That's not exactly straightforward, given you have to make a query for every single file (or batch of up to 50 of them), but you can get the URL through the API. In this case: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&format=json&pr… Best regards, -- Jérémie

Use Special:Filepath. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Filepath/0_A.D._logo.png /Jan Ainali (skickat på språng så ursäkta min fåordighet) On Oct 30, 2017 18:16, "Laura Morales" <lauretas(a)mail.com> wrote:

The actual value of the statement is just the image name itself (in this case “0 A.D. logo.png”), the c.w.o/wiki/ link is only generated for the HTML view. You can get the path to the actual file using Special:FilePath on Commons; for instance, the RDF export of the entity (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityData/Q161234.ttl) contains the statement wd:Q161234 wdt:P18 <http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:FilePath/0%20A.D.%20Seleucide.jpg>.

You can also use the Wikimedia Commons API made by Magnus: https://tools.wmflabs.org/magnus-toolserver/commonsapi.php It will also gives you metadata about the image (so you'll be able to cite the author of the image when you reuse it).

Is the same metadata also available in the Turtle/HDT dump?

Sadly not. We don't have proper structured meta-data yet. That's what the Structured Data on Commons project is about: <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Structured_data> -- Daniel Kinzler Principal Platform Engineer Wikimedia Deutschland Gesellschaft zur Förderung Freien Wissens e.V.

Hi Laura, If a spreadsheet is an option, you can use the WIKICOMMONSLINK function ( https://tomayac.github.io/wikipedia-tools-for-google-spreadsheets/Documenta…, select it in the select box) function of my Google sheets add-on ( https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/wikipedia-tools/aiilcelhmpllcgkhh… ). Cheers, Tom
