Hi Stas,

Thanks for the suggestion on the SPARQL endpoint. I have tested it 

a bit and I must say I am excited on the potential it has. I tend to run SPARQL queries directly from my desktop, through an IDE (i.e. textmate) However, I haven't managed to connect to the wdqs this way. It seems that I need to push the execute button in a browser to get the actual results.

Is it possible to get the SPARQL results in an API manner?

Sure it is, the direct URL to the endpoint is wdqs-beta.wmflabs.org/bigdata/namespace/wdq/sparql and you can submit your query via a GET request using the `query` parameter.

Best regards Bene
