wikidata-properties-dumper

UPDATE: this repository was hosting experimentations at getting a list of all Wikidata properties as JSON before Wikidata SPARQL endpoint was up. Now that it's there, we can do better!

• get the full list straight from Wikidata Query (try the query, get it as JSON)

• or, for a pre-formatted version:

  • use the wd props command from Wikidata CLI
  • use that dump of wd props --type
  • use Wikidata Propbrowse and its JSON dump

There are now more than 2400 property ids on wikidata (less active ones though), but no handy standard json version of those, so I made one by hand, per language. You can find en, de, fr, es and it versions already in the ./output folder.

It looks like this:

{
    "P6": "head of government",
    "P7": "brother",
    "P9": "sister",
    "P10": "video",
    "P14": "highway marker",
    "P15": "road map",
    "P16": "highway system",
    "P17": "country",
    "P18": "image",
    ...

How To dump Properties for other languages

Options 1

• create a new query in Quarry, copying this one but replacing fr with the 2-letters language code of your choice
• copy this repo:

git clone https://github.com/maxlath/wikidata-properties-dumper.git

• add the query id and the json output id to the ./queries.json file
• then run npm start

and you're done! JSON files are waiting for you in the properties folder!

Options 2: lazy but slower

• just ask me to add the desired language to the existing dumps :)
