Welcome to the Wikidata Query Service help portal

The place where your questions to the Wikidata Query Service are answered. Questions to Wikidata can be about pieces of knowledge in this world and their relationships. This can be used to use Wikidata as a knowledge base or generate lists for other Wikimedia projects, such as Wikipedia.

We also have documentation for advanced users that goes beyond the first steps. The Wikidata Query Service provides a SPARQL endpoint including a powerful Web-GUI. SPARQL (pronounced "sparkle") is an RDF query language, that is, a semantic query language for databases. With SPARQL, you can extract any kind of data, with a query composed of logical combinations of triples.
