hi,
I am trying to retreive wikidata items by label through wbsearchentities()
using the "continue" parameter from
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox#action=wbsearchentities&am…
Can i retreive more than 100 items using this? I notice the
'search-continue' returned by the search result disappears after 50 items.
for ex
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox#action=wbsearchentities&am…
The api docs at
https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php explicitly state the
highest value for 'continue' is 50:
limit - Maximal number of results
The value must be between 0 and 50
Default: 7
continue - Offset where to continue a search
The value must be between 0 and 50
Default: 0
which indeed suggests there is a hard limit of 100 entries. Maybe someone in
the Wikidata dev team can explain the reason behind this?
