Wikidata

Wikidata provides a API for searching and retrieving data from wikidata.org.

Installation

composer require freearhey/wikidata

Usage

$wikidata = new Wikidata;

Search

Search by entity title:

$result = $wikidata->search('steve jobs');

Check if no search results

if($result->isEmpty()) {
	echo 'no results';
	die();
}

Retrieve first entity in result list

$singleResult = $result->first();

Retrieve all results

$allResults = $result->get();

Get entity id

$entityId = $singleResult->getEntityId(); // Q26

Entities

Get single entity by id:

$entities = $wikidata->entities('Q26');

Get single entity with preset language (default: en)

$entities = $wikidata->entities('Q26', 'fr');

Get few entities by id and more languages

$entities = $wikidata->entities('Q26|Q106', 'en|fr|ch');

Retrieve first entity

$entity = $entities->first();

Get all entities

$entity = $entities->get();

Get single entity by id

$entity = $entities->get('Q26');

Get entity label and description (default language: en)

$label = $entity->getLabel(); // Steve Jobs
$description = $entity->getDescription('de'); // US-amerikanischer Unternehmer, Mitbegründer von Apple Computer

Get entity property values by property id (e.g. P21) if it exists. All list properties you can find here

$gender = $entity->getPropertyValues('P21'); // array(1) { [0]=> string(4) "male" }

And with language property (default: en)

$childs = $entity->getPropertyValues('P40', 'ru'); // array(1) { [0]=> string(35) "Бреннан-Джобс, Лиза" }

That's all.
