3rd party clients which want to embed data from Wikidata, but cannot access the database directly, are not yet supported. We have designed the architecture in a way that should allow us to support them easily enough, but the necessary mechanisms are not yet implemented.
The plan is to eventually implement "remote" clients that fetch data via the API, and get notifications pushed to them probably via PubsubHubbub. I would very much like to see this, but our priority is to get Wikimedia sites feature complete first.
Being able to talk to the database directly does simplify things greatly I imagine, and I can completely understand wanting to focus on Wikimedia sites first. Thanks for the details.
