- The Wikidata API (documentation) consists of several such modules running on Wikidata wiki that let you query and manipulate language-independent information.
- The RESTBase content API (generated documentation) runs on each wiki so you can retrieve page content quickly and easily.
- You can search wiki content using various modules in the action API, and Wikidata has its own Wikidata query service. Search and discovery provides an overview.
