Accessing Wikidata’s data from code
The Wikidata team at Wikimedia Deutschland is interested in making it easier for people who write code to use Wikidata’s data in their own applications and tools.
Thus, we would like to learn more about the people who have accessed Wikidata’s data from the code of their own applications and tools. We will use what we learn to improve the ease of access and usefulness of the ways in which we provide the data.

The participation is anonymous and there are no required answers. The data will only be shared in an aggregated form.
----------------------------------
1. How experienced are you with accessing Wikidata’s data from code?
Accessing data means using e.g. the API, SQL, SPARQL or dumps to access Wikidata’s data
Please answer with 1-5 where 1 is "I know nothing about this" and 5 is "I am an expert in this"

Apologies for cross-posting


Hello all,


The Wikidata development team is currently doing some research to understand better how people access and reuse Wikidata’s data from the code of their applications and tools (for example through APIs), and how we can improve the tools to make your workflows easier.


We are running a short survey to gather more information from people who build tools based on Wikidata’s data. If you would like to participate, please use this link (Google Forms, estimated fill-in time 5min). If you don’t want to use Google Forms, you can also send me a private email with your answers. We would love to get as many answers as possible before June 9th.


The data will be anonymously collected and will only be shared in an aggregated form.


If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me directly.


Cheers,
