G., 1930-2009", "viaf": "9842556", "wikidata_id": "Q140201" } ] (note: the example api is hosted on heroku free tier, and is quite slow) -- raffa...@docuver.se [1] https://github.com/atomotic/isbn-authors [2] http://classify.oclc.org/classify2/api_docs/index.html _______________________________________________ Wikidata mailing list Wikidata@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata
