Wikidata Textifier

Wikidata Textifier is an API that transforms Wikidata entities into compact outputs for LLM and GenAI use cases. It resolves missing labels for properties and claim values using the Wikidata Action API and caches labels to reduce repeated lookups.

Features

• Textify Wikidata entities as json, text, or triplet.
• Resolve labels for linked entities and properties.
• Cache labels in MariaDB for faster repeated requests.
• Support multilingual output with fallback language support.
• Avoid SPARQL and use Wikidata Action API / EntityData endpoints.

Output Formats

• json: Structured representation with claims (and optionally qualifiers/references).
• text: Readable summary including label, description, aliases, and attributes.
• triplet: Triplet-style lines with labels and IDs for graph-style traversal.
