hi, I am trying to retreive wikidata items by label through wbsearchentities() using the "continue" parameter from https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox#action=wbsearchentities&... Can i retreive more than 100 items using this? I notice the 'search-continue' returned by the search result disappears after 50 items. for ex https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox#action=wbsearchentities&...
The api docs at https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php explicitly state the highest value for 'continue' is 50:
limit - Maximal number of results The value must be between 0 and 50 Default: 7 continue - Offset where to continue a search The value must be between 0 and 50 Default: 0
which indeed suggests there is a hard limit of 100 entries. Maybe someone in the Wikidata dev team can explain the reason behind this?
