The WIkidata Query Service (WDQS) is one of the main services to get data from Wikidata. In this workshop we'll explore the SPARQL query language that allows us to access data as well as the WDQS UI, a helpful UI in which we can write and run queries. The goal is that you'll be able to write your own queries and explore Wikidata's data by the end of the session.
There are many ways that we can get data from Wikidata. In this workshop we'll explore using Python to leverage popular APIs provided by Wikimedia Foundation and Wikimedia Deutschland as well as community developed packages to easily get data for projects and research. We'll specifically look at the pros and cons of using certain methods for certain types of data so that we can make educated decisions on the best tools to use to get the data we need.
