Wikidata For Developers |
Welcome to Wikidata's developer portal. Here you will find the information you need to build applications and services using Wikidata's data.
Wikidata's immense collection of data about the world is surprisingly easy to harness. Above and beyond its many millions of Items, Wikidata consolidates countless links to other data stores, sites and catalogs and is packed with confirming references. That constitutes a sizable proportion of everything humans know -- and it's all available for free reuse under CC0 (public domain) licensing.
As a knowledge graph, Wikidata offers its information in a structured form that can be easily queried and presented in multiple languages. Of course, Wikidata is also closely allied with the world's highest quality encyclopedia, Wikipedia. Best of all, it's powered by an enthusiastic and active community, which means anyone can contribute to Wikidata -- including you.
