Just specify sites and titles parameters, e.g. https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=wbgetentities&format=jsonfm&sites=enwiki&titles=Impression%2C%20Sunrise&formatversion=2 or from Special:ApiSandbox, https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox#action=wbgetentities&format=json&sites=enwiki&titles=Impression%2C%20Sunrise I didn't mention this in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Presenting_Wikidata_knowledge because it's my understanding that entity IDs are more universal.
