Hoi,
It may not be stable but it is what PEOPLE understand. What you can do is
get the labels again each time when you show or edit the tool. In this the
numbers are leading and PEOPLE can actually use it.
<grin> I salute the effort and I appreciate the critique </grin> however
many approaches do not have ordinary people in mind but are from ones own
perspective. When that is of a developer of a data scientist it is often
correct but hardly usable.
Thanks,
GerardM

If you are using the P/Q/whatever markers in the id,
then you should not
differentiate on items and properties in the root.
The path /items/{item_id}/data/{property_label} should use the property id
and not the property label. The later is not stable.

Hey all,
I've created a very rough REST API for Wikidata and am looking for your
feedback.
* About this API:
http://queryr.wmflabs.org
* Documentation:
http://queryr.wmflabs.org/about/docs
* API root:
http://queryr.wmflabs.org/api
At present this is purely a demo. The data it serves is stale and
potentially incomplete, the endpoints and formats they use are very much
liable to change, the server setup is not reliable and I'm not 100% sure
I'll continue with this little project.
The main thing I'm going for with this API compared to the existing one
is greater ease of use for common use cases. Several factors make this a
lot easier to do in a new API than in the existing one: no need the serve
all use cases, no need to retain compatibility with existing users and no
framework imposed restrictions. You can read more about the difference on
the website.
You are invited to comment on the concept and on the open questions
mentioned on the website.
Cheers
