awesome, thank you!
In case its useful for anyone, I was using wikidata to teach biologists and chemists about knowledge graphs (many tinyurls toward the end) http://www.slideshare.net/goodb/computing-on-the-shoulders-of-giants
On the second part of the course students were provided with the following Jupyter python notebook which runs a sparql query against wikidata and generates an output file suitable for loading in Cytoscape (a commonly used network visualization tool in biology). Could be useful for others that need to teach this stuff.. https://github.com/SuLab/sparql_to_pandas/blob/master/SPARQL_pandas.ipynb

Hi!
I could have used another one on my own I guess, but the current implementation is much faster and less error prone when dealing with monster sparqling urls...
please find a way to keep it
There are no plans to remove URL shortening. There are plans to switch URL shortener to Wikimedia's own one, which is supposed to be coming up eventually, but before that, we plan to use existing ones. We might change a provider if it turns out there is a better one, but we do not plan to remove the functionality.
