Get an entry
get_entryRead-only
One entry, by VHID, short name or Wikidata QID: its public record (title, description, handles, image, URL) and, as editing, what the editor would load for this key — the current revision, the editable fields, every handle with who manages it (the Wikidata sync or the site), which fields the sync manages, and whether this key may edit it live. Without an API key, the public record alone.
Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| entry | Yes | The entry: its VHID (11 digits), its short name (as in verifiedhandles.org/<short>), or its Wikidata QID (Q42). | |
| include_platforms | No | Also list every platform a handle can be on (id, name, URL prefix). Needs an API key. |
Output Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| vhid | Yes | The entry’s VHID: 11 digits, permanent. | |
| entry | Yes | The entry’s public record, as GET /api/v1/entities/{vhid} answers it. Null for a VHID that is not public (a deleted entry): `editing` says more. | |
| editing | No | With an API key: what the editor loads for this key (GET /api/editor/{vhid}): `baseRevisionId`, `capabilities` (whether it may edit live or propose), `editable`, `handles`, `provenance` (which fields the Wikidata sync manages), `qid`, and `platforms` with include_platforms. Where the key may not open the editor, the route’s `status` and `error`. Absent with no key. |
