I do not know if I am missing something, but as I needed such API too, I created the extension SMWAskAPI ( http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SMWAskAPI ), that extends the regular mediawiki API by adding a 'ask' action. It is pretty basic for now but one can make a regular #ask query and specify printouts to display. I have been surprised to see how few people were looking for this feature in SMW, so maybe there is another simple way to achieve it that I missed? Can anyone tell me about it? Also, I would appreciate feedback about this extension, if someone tries it.
