Yea, that's the issue: the OAI interface is still up, but it's pretty much unsupported. But there is no alternative as far as I know. It seems like everyone wants PubHub for this, but as far as I know, nobody is working on it. I think it's fine for you to keep using OAI for now. Just be aware that once the WMF moves search to solar, you will be the *only* user of the OAI interface... so keep in touch with the Foundation about it. -- daniel _______________________________________________ Wikidata-l mailing list Wikidata-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-l
