The Scribe reference API is based on the <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Scribe">Scribe project</a>, which focuses on making trustworthy references accessible to Wikipedia editors.
While Scribe focuses on integrating section and reference suggestions into Wikipedia, the <i>Scribe reference API</i> focueses on exposing the data that Scribe uses for judging references to external users.
In particular, we focus on exposing existing Wikipedia references across languages.
<br>
As part of the Scribe reference API, we are providing the online references of all articles on a set of different language Wikipedias.
We include in the API for each page all references. For each reference we provide the following:
<br>
<br>
<ul class="list-group">
  <li><b>page</b>: Name of the Wikipedia article, e.g. <i>Ada_Lovelace</i></li>
  <li><b>qid</b>: Wikidata entity ID in the form <i>Q64</i></li>
  <li><b>title</b>: Title of the reference <i></i></li>
  <li><b>url</b>: Full URL to the reference</li>
  <li><b>url_domain</b>: Domain of the reference URL</li>
</ul>

<br>
Other metadata for the references, such as date, might be included if available.
<br>

This allows, for example, for exploring the reference coverage of bbc across languages or the shared references between different language version Wikipedias.
It also enables applications that want to measure credibility of sources based on their usage on Wikipedia.


<br><br><br>
<h2><a name="all">Accessing All Data</a></h2>
By acessing <b>/all</b>, all data in the database can be displayed. (As the database holds all references across multiple languages, this feature is likely to be deprecated soon.)


<br><br><br>
<h2><a name="query">API Querying</a></h2>
The dataset is saved in a MongoDB database, which can be directly queryied using <b>/api/query=</b>.
<br>
The query is based on the MongoDB <i>find</i> queries, the documentation can be found <a href="https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/method/db.collection.find/">here</a>.
<br>
For example, to get all references of all Berlin Wikipedia articles across languages, we can make use of the Wikidata entity id of Berlin, Q64.
The query looks as follows: <i>/api/query={"qid":"Q64"}</i>
