Hi mediawiki developers, We (Google) are trying to maintain our internal mirror of wikidata.orgup-to-date in real-time, so that our indexing pipeline can get latest interlanguage information in real-time.
I noticed wikidata.org is also powered by standard MediaWiki software, where standard query api to a specific revision works, e.g. revision query: http://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&format=xml&rvprop=content&revids=6748137&revids=6748137 and recentchanges: http://wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=recentchanges&format=xml&rcnamespace=0&rcprop=userid%7Ccomment%7Cflags%7Ctimestamp%7Ctitle%7Cids%7Credirect My questions are: - Are the APIs above ("action=query&prop=revisions" and "actioon=query&list=recentchanges") the supported way to retrieve wikidata.org in realtime? - Is there any document about the json format in response? It looks to me that "links" are about interwiki/interlanguage links (or sitelinks in wikidata.org's terminology), but I feel more comfortable if I see some official document about this. - There are some ids like "dewiki", "enwiki" etc, which I guess can be interpreted to corresponding languages "de", "en" respectively. But is there a reliable map from these *wiki to the language code? And some are even using 3-letter prefix, e.g. gotwiki, xmfwiki. Thanks -- Jiang BIAN This email may be confidential or privileged.
