[15:04:09] <max12345>	 hello I want to start using wikidata, I saw the 5min talk at the 32c3 and the dataform sounded very appealing to me.
[15:05:00] <max12345>	 I want to use python to make http requests to get the data, but I'm not really sure on my options or how to navigate from a starting point
[15:06:52] <Tpt>	 max12345: Hi! Welcome! The API documentation is here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/API
[15:07:46] <max12345>	 :) yep I found that and the tutorial too, I'm just not very sure on what I get when I execute the tutorial query
[15:07:58] <max12345>	 or how to use it effectively
[15:08:16] <Tpt>	 which tutorial ?
[15:08:25] <max12345>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Tutorial
[15:08:49] <max12345>	 oh that's the wrong wiki hehe
[15:09:05] <Tpt>	 yes, this tutorial is about the Wikipedia API
[15:09:44] <Tpt>	 but as Wikipedia and Wikidata uses the same plateform (MediaWiki) the API looks the same. There are just additional actions to interact with Wikidata structured content
[15:15:34] <max12345>	 so what's the wikidata endpoint then?
[15:23:13] <Amir1>	 Lydia_WMDE: hey, around?
[15:23:19] <Amir1>	 Please check the draft
[15:23:33] <Amir1>	 it's ready in my opinion and Aaron's 
[15:23:38] <Tpt>	 max12345: It is availlable here: https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php
[15:23:50] <Tpt>	 See also this help page: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/API
[15:29:20] <max12345>	 Tpt hm idk, they don't help very much, I don't really get what's going on with that, I expected something I can send a http request to and it would basically contain data as shown in the wiki and the names of other connected items I can lookup
[15:30:27] <max12345>	 but what I see is lots and lots of actions that mostly seem to be aimed at editing the wiki?
[15:30:35] <Tpt>	 max12345: For that you should use https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Data_access#Linked_Data_interface
[15:30:44] <Tpt>	 example: http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q42.json
[15:32:05] <max12345>	 Tpt yes that looks more like something I want. very cool.
[15:32:13] <Tpt>	 grat!
[15:32:17] <Tpt>	 * great!
[17:36:29] * aude waves! 
[17:36:54] <aude>	 happy Q196627! :D
[20:54:51] <hoo>	 addshore: http://wikidata-metrics.wmflabs.org/ the "References Overview" seems outdated
[20:55:48] <addshore>	 *looks*
[20:56:20] <hoo>	 I see a lot of references to WP added again lately (mostly by reCh) and I wonder whether that's significant
[20:56:22] <addshore>	 Hah yeh, that should all be removed
[20:56:31] <addshore>	 Look at the grfana things!
[20:58:51] <hoo>	 Is it in there?
[21:09:34] <addshore>	 Yeh, there is a references one :) data from the dumps!
[21:09:49] <addshore>	 I linked to it on project chat recently!
[21:18:49] <hoo>	 hm...
[21:19:03] <hoo>	 would be nice to have a graph of all non-Wikipedia references
[21:52:17] <HakanIST>	 nice dashboard
