The snapshot contains the current public item records. It is refreshed every six hours. Recent edits can be retrieved immediately through the individual record exports or the API. Property definitions and entity schemas remain available on their own pages.
What the files contain
- JSON Lines: one Wikibase item per line. Each item retains its labels, descriptions, aliases, claims, qualifiers, ranks, references and sitelinks, plus its latest public revision identifier and modification time.
- CSV directory: one row per item with its identifier, English label and description, schema type, browse category, record URL, related article URL, revision and modification time. The CSV is an index of records; use JSON Lines or the record page to examine the actual claims and sources.
- Snapshot manifest: record count, revision-based version, modification time, file sizes and SHA-256 checksums.
Records vary in completeness. Some identify a subject and connect it to an article; others include detailed statements. A reference group is not necessarily an independent source. Check the cited source, qualifiers, rank and revision history when assessing a claim. Download availability does not change the rights of cited publications.
Stable identifiers
For example, https://data.roovet.com/entity/Q9 identifies the subject. Its human-readable record is Item:Q9. Q and P identifiers are local to Roovet Data; use the full identifier URL when exchanging data across different Wikibase installations.

Each record links to the formats provided by Wikibase:
Replace Q9 with the record identifier you need. Properties use P identifiers. These exports contain the data recorded on the wiki, including qualifiers and source references.
Search and retrieve records with the API
Use the API documentation to inspect supported Wikibase and MediaWiki modules.
Keep requests small and sequential, reuse responses when appropriate, and identify automated clients with a descriptive User-Agent.
Explore the connected articles
Browse the knowledge graph by topic. Matching records connect to Roovet Articles for narrative context. The record and the article have distinct purposes and retain their own canonical URLs.
