Hi!
I'm a relatively experienced dev with MediaWiki, but completely new to
Wikibase. I've been attempting to install Wikibase Client on my wiki in
order to access Wikidata over the public API. I am interested in read-only
access.
First of all – is this even possible? The documentation is unfortunately
very muddy and focused on completely different use cases. By looking at
stack traces Wikibase Client produces, I start to suspect the only way to
connect to a repo is by direct DB access, which is of course off the table
for anyone that isn't Wikimedia :)
If I'm doing this horribly wrong (and I suspect I am), do you know any
sensible ways of accessing Wikidata remotely in a wiki? Something like a
parser function.
Thanks in advance :)
