Unfortunately Lukasz there are only the generic MediaWiki API and dumps, they are completely ignorant of the content and format of the various kinds of wikis. This means there are no Wiktionary-specific API or dump files with dictionary-aware content. This could be addressed if we could attract some developers with an interest in machine readability and parsing of Wiktionary content but even after quite a few years there is still no centralized effort in that direction. Everybody who needs to do it invents their own wheel. Of course everybody wants to do something somewhat different with the data, or with a somewhat different subset of the data...
