The Semantic REST API extension adds an endpoint to the MediaWiki REST API that gives access to semantic data from Semantic MediaWiki.

Installation

• Install Extension:SemanticMediaWiki
• Download and move the extracted SemanticRESTAPI folder to your extensions/ directory.
  Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:

  cd extensions/
  git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/SemanticRESTAPI
  

• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'SemanticRESTAPI' );
  

• Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Usage

Once installed, simply browse to the following URL pattern to get a JSON with all the semantic data of a given page:

https://www.example.com/w/rest.php/v1/page/Title_of_the_page/semantic

For example, compare this and this.
