Hi,
I'd like to access Wikidata via Lua scripts, so the scripts can later be used in MediaWiki. I only know how to create Lua scripts in the module-namespace in Wikimedia wikis, but I want command line scripts that do not require a full MediaWiki installation. To give a minimal example, this script:
language="en" label=mw.wikibase.label("Q42") print(label)
if somehow (?) called from command line (!) should print "Douglas Adams" to stdout.
How to do so? Jakob

This would require a locally installable Lua library, which currently does not exist. It would be a great project to do something like this!
The same is true for other languages, but I understand the particular use case you have in mind.

If what you're executing is not something huge, doesn't require (m)any external dependencies, and doesn't have user interaction, you can try to (ab)use Scribunto's console AJAX interface:
$ cat lua.py #!/usr/bin/env python
import requests import sys
print requests.post(sys.argv[1], params={ 'format': 'json', 'action': 'scribunto-console', 'title': '-', 'question': sys.stdin.read(), }).json()['print'] $ cat demo.lua language="en" label=mw.wikibase.label("Q42") print(label) $ ./lua.py https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php < demo.lua Douglas Adams
$

Thanks, I used your example to set up a git repository with notes. I planned to clone the full module-namespace with git, so modules in MediaWiki can be managed (and locally tested) with git as well:

Huh this makes me think of a git-mediawiki tool (compare with git-svn).
There's already an (inactive) wikipediafs http://wikipediafs.sourceforge.net/
Just a quick idea. Nothing exists in reality.

There's also the (inactive) levitation project: https://github.com/scy/levitation - "a project to convert Wikipedia database dumps into Git repositories". It doesn't scale for Wikipedia, but should work fine for smaller dumps.
