Wikidata Entity Research
LiveIdentify entities and inspect source claims in English or Arabic.
Find Wikidata item candidates, inspect bilingual identity metadata and examine one property’s typed statements with ranks, qualifiers and references. Exact IDs and source links support careful entity research without hiding uncertainty or conflicting claims.

What it helps you do
- Bilingual entity discovery
- Exact item identification
- Ranked statements with source context
Built for: Research agents disambiguating people, places, works and concepts.
Example requests
Disambiguate a person before citing a date
“Find Douglas Adams in Wikidata, inspect the exact item in English and Arabic, then inspect date-of-birth property P569. Preserve the raw date, calendar, precision, rank and reference context. Cite the exact item and explain that Wikidata statements are community-edited source claims.”
An identified entity and source-linked date claim with its precision and evidence context.
Tools
| Tool | What it does | Access |
|---|---|---|
wd_search_entitiesFind Wikidata item candidates | Search public Wikidata item labels and aliases in English or Arabic. At most 10 candidates per explicit offset page (0–1000). Language provenance and matches are returned; ranking does not prove identity. One shared-plan call. | Read-only |
wd_entity_detailsInspect an exact Wikidata item | Inspect an exact Q item ID: English/Arabic labels, descriptions, bounded aliases, revision metadata and selected Wikipedia sitelink titles. Requested-language selection has no silent fallback. No linked page fetch. One shared-plan call. | Read-only |
wd_entity_statementsInspect one property’s statements | Inspect an exact Q item and P property. Return up to 10 claims with rank, typed values, unknown/no-value snaks, bounded qualifiers and references. Explicit local offset pages (0–1000), no best-rank filtering. Preserve source precision, uncertainty and missing values; not verified facts. One shared-plan call. | Read-only |
Requirements
- • Activate Site Audit free and use ToolCargo OAuth or a scoped API key. No Wikidata credentials or paid provider.
Limitations
- • English and Arabic label/alias search returns identity candidates, not verified matches. Exact item IDs use Q; property IDs use P. Redirected identities are not silently accepted.
- • Search and statements return at most 10 records per explicit page with offsets 0–1000. Statement pages fetch one property’s array and slice locally; order and counts may change between calls.
- • Statement ranks are preserved, including deprecated claims. No best-rank selection, truth inference or conflict resolution. Missing claims do not prove absence; somevalue and novalue remain distinct.
- • Aliases are capped at 20; each statement’s qualifiers and each reference’s snaks at 20, references at five. Counts and truncation are exposed. Text is bounded; unsupported value types are marked rather than invented.
- • Only fixed public Wikidata JSON requests, paced with maxlag=5, 15-second timeout and 2 MB response cap. No automatic retries, edits, SPARQL, credentials, files or followed links. URL-valued strings remain untrusted text.
