The Discovery Department at the Wikimedia Foundation is pleased to announce the release of the Wikidata Query Service https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikidata_query_service! You can find the interface for the service at https://query.wikidata.org.
The Wikidata Query Service is designed to let users run queries on the data contained in Wikidata. The service uses SPARQL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPARQL as the query language. You can see some example queries in the user manual https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikidata_query_service/User_Manual.
Thanks for this e-mail. Wikidata query service looks neat.
When will be this type of functionality be available on-wiki? I have a vague memory that some type of query service similar to this one was/is intended to be used to allow arbitrary access to Wikidata data from/on Wikimedia wikis such as the English Wikipedia.
