The Wikidata API will simply be an extension of the existing MediaWiki API.

The following functions are being envisioned for Phase 1 (or even Phase 0.5, which is, for Wikimania.)

* means optional

Wikibase

Done

  • getItemId( site, title )
  • setLabel( ( id XOR ( site, title ) ), language, label) (ApiWikibaseSetLabel)
  • setDescription( ( id XOR ( site, title ) ), language, description) (ApiWikibaseSetDescription)
  • linkSite( ( id XOR ( site, title ) ), linksite, linktitle *badge) (ApiWikibaseSiteLink)

TODO

  • getSiteLinks( ( id XOR ( site, title ) )
  • getItem( ( id XOR ( site, title ) ), *language) - returns the data for a given ID or site+title pair. This is used by the Wikidata client extension. The language is set in order to add labels to the IDs. (ApiWikibaseGetItem )
  • addAlias(id, language, alias) (ApiWikibaseAddAlias)
  • removeAlias(id, language, alias) (ApiWikibaseRemoveAlias)
  • searchByName(language, fragment, *hints) (used for the Wikidata Suggest widget)
