Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone had any advice for mapping a set of Freebase identifiers to
WikiData identifiers. I’m looking to port over a few thousand entities in use in an
application since Freebase is going to be shut off next month.
My apologies if this is a rudimentary question. I took a quick look at the API [1] and
didn’t see an obvious way of doing it. Or is the WikiData Query API [2] a better fit for
this? I was able to figure out how to do a lookup based on the FreebaseID,
https://wdq.wmflabs.org/api?q=string[646:'/m/04hcw']
Any tips or pointers would be appreciated.
To do this you want to either use Wikidata Query, which you already
found, or work on dumps. More about them at

Cheers
Lydia
