Roovet Data:Data formats

Roovet Data exposes entity records in human-readable and machine-readable formats. The record page and the subject identifier serve different purposes.

Stable identifiers

[edit source]

For example, https://data.roovet.com/entity/Q9 identifies the subject. Its human-readable record is Item:Q9. Do not use the Q identifier alone to match entities across unrelated Wikibase installations; identifiers are local to Roovet Data.

The entity toolbar links to the formats provided by Wikibase:

Replace Q9 with the identifier of the record you need. Properties use P identifiers. These exports contain the data recorded on the wiki; inspect references, qualifiers and ranks before reuse.

Use the API documentation to inspect supported Wikibase and MediaWiki modules. Entity searches use wbsearchentities; entity retrieval uses wbgetentities. Keep requests small and sequential, reuse responses when appropriate, and identify automated clients with a descriptive User-Agent.

Articles and structured data

[edit source]

Matching records link to Roovet Articles for narrative context. Their JSON-LD connects the subject identifier to the corresponding record and article without making the two documents duplicates.
