Hi mediawiki developers,
We (Google) are trying to maintain our internal mirror of
wikidata.orgup-to-date in real-time, so that our indexing pipeline can
get latest
interlanguage information in real-time.
I noticed
wikidata.org is also powered by standard MediaWiki software,
where standard query api to a specific revision works, e.g.
revision query:
http://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&forma…
and
recentchanges:
http://wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=recentchanges&forma…
My questions are:
- Are the APIs above ("action=query&prop=revisions" and
"actioon=query&list=recentchanges") the supported way to retrieve
wikidata.org in realtime?
- Is there any document about the json format in response? It looks to
me that "links" are about interwiki/interlanguage links (or sitelinks in
wikidata.org's terminology), but I feel more comfortable if I see some
official document about this.
- There are some ids like "dewiki", "enwiki" etc, which I guess can
be
interpreted to corresponding languages "de", "en" respectively. But
is
there a reliable map from these *wiki to the language code? And some are
even using 3-letter prefix, e.g. gotwiki, xmfwiki.
Thanks
