Hello,

When we issue queries using the MWAPI [1] programatically, we sometimes get a 500 error. I would guess that happens in more than 30% of the cases. The following SPARQL query causes the error:

    SELECT DISTINCT *
    WHERE {
        SERVICE wikibase:mwapi {
            bd:serviceParam wikibase:api "EntitySearch" .
            bd:serviceParam wikibase:endpoint "www.wikidata.org" .
            bd:serviceParam wikibase:limit "once" .
            bd:serviceParam mwapi:search "integre" .
            bd:serviceParam mwapi:language "en" .
            ?subj wikibase:apiOutputItem mwapi:item .
        }
    }
    LIMIT 2000
