Wikidata-search enables researchers and data practitioners to locate Wikidata items or properties and retrieve their structured data, including labels, descriptions, claims, and external identifiers, for analysis and integration.
Query Wikidata for a term (e.g., Albert Einstein) and retrieve the entity's labels, descriptions, and external identifiers.

To retrieve structured data and external identifiers for a Wikidata entity, you can use the wbgetentities action to fetch full entity records, including labels, descriptions, claims, and sitelinks, directly from the Wikidata API.
Yes, you can run SPARQL queries against Wikidata to extract complex relationship graphs. The skill supports WDQS SPARQL queries, allowing you to retrieve and navigate interconnected structured data with robust error handling.
Semantic search with the Wikidata Vector DB allows you to discover items using hybrid vector-based discovery rather than exact keyword matches. This mechanism queries vector embeddings to find conceptually related items and fetch their entity details.
You can search Wikidata items and properties by label, alias, or description using the wbsearchentities action. This function matches your keyword queries against the Wikidata API and returns relevant item identifiers.
The Wikidata API enforces rate limits, and this skill manages them by incorporating robust error handling with automatic retries. This ensures reliable data retrieval and prevents request failures during entity search and extraction.
The best way to extract specific claims and external identifiers like VIAF or ISNI from Wikidata is using the wbgetclaims action and API wrappers. This targets individual property claims to assemble structured datasets for analysis.
