Hi Stas,
Thanks for working on this. I tried to run the examples, but I get the following error when I hit the button: Query is malformed: QName 'mwapi:titles' uses an undefined prefix
And here you can see more details about the error output: https://pastebin.com/yNd7vPw4
I hope you can fix it :)
Thanks Micru

Hi!
I am developing functionality that will allow WDQS query to get data from Mediawiki API [1].
Currently, the design is as follows:
- The API should have a pre-defined template
- The template also specifies which results are available from the API
The need for template is currently because we need to convert data from API's treelike format to tabular format that SPARQL needs, and the template allows to specify how the conversion is done. See https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WDQS_and_Mediawiki_API for detailed description of how it works.
The prototype implementation is running on http://wdqs-test.wmflabs.org/ (only Categories API described in the page above is configured now, but more will be soon). I'd like to hear feedback about this:
- does template model make sense at all? Is it enough?
- what APIs would we want to expose?
- any other features that would be useful?
Other comments and ideas on the matter are of course always welcome. Please comment on the talk page[2] or reply to this message.
