(Cross-posted to Discovery and Wikidata lists.)
Hi all! I just wanted to make a quick and brief announcement that there's now a way to use WDQS API from R with my new WikidataQueryServiceR package[1], inspired by Oliver Keyes' WikipediR[2] and WikidataR[3] packages.
Current 0.0.3 release supports: - Sending one or more SPARQL queries and getting back a data.frame (or a list of data.frames) - Scraping examples page[4] and extracting SPARQL query/queries
I'll give it a few days to see if I or anyone else comes across any bugs or usability issues (please report those at [5]) and then I'll submit it to Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN).
