WikiDataDotNet

WikiDataDotNet is an API for access data from WikiData http://www.wikidata.org/

This API is still in development if you find a bug, please report it or even better, create a patch and make a pull request. Contributions are very welcome.

Overview

Provides the ability to get entities and search against WikiData.

To get an entity simply:

open WikiDataDotNet.Request request_entity "Q38"

There are C# examples of usage in WikiDataDotNet.Samples.CSharp

I have plans to extend with an easy way to lookup and cache claims. More info on my blog http://www.danielslater.net/2015/08/presenting-wikidatadotnet-client-api.html
