<h4>Motivation</h4>

Specify API endpoints to access databases via web services. Standard protocols can be added with qualifier {{P|2700}} and link to API documentation with qualifier {{P|973}}. This property was also discussed as part of [[Wikidata:Property proposal/SPARQL endpoint]]. API endpoints can already be specified with {{P|2699}} and qualifier {{P|2700}} but many endpoints don't follow a standard protocol and it's more convenient to query endpoints without qualifier. -- [[User:JakobVoss|JakobVoss]] ([[User talk:JakobVoss|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 06:58, 16 June 2018 (UTC)

* Can this also be used to resolve the issue raised at [[Wikidata:Project chat#Formatter URL for XML]]? <span class="vcard"><span class="fn">[[User:Pigsonthewing|Andy Mabbett]]</span> (<span class="nickname">Pigsonthewing</span>); [[User talk:Pigsonthewing|Talk to Andy]]; [[Special:Contributions/Pigsonthewing|Andy's edits]]</span> 20:15, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
** Yes, that is exactly the sort of thing this property would be used for, providing machine-readable data in a standard format (in that case I assume some specific XML protocol?)

***On further examination, it cannot, because this proposal is for property with a URL datatype, not a string with a '''$1''' component. <span class="vcard"><span class="fn">[[User:Pigsonthewing|Andy Mabbett]]</span> (<span class="nickname">Pigsonthewing</span>); [[User talk:Pigsonthewing|Talk to Andy]]; [[Special:Contributions/Pigsonthewing|Andy's edits]]</span> 10:23, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
*{{comment}} What would be the usecase for such a property? To some extent this duplicates [[Wikidata:Property proposal/Archive/48#P2699]] or a simple selection by property datatype. <br/>--- [[User talk:Jura1|Jura]] 09:07, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
: {{s}} (but please don't support your own proposal - it makes it clearer to assess at a glance if there is consensus) − [[User:Pintoch|Pintoch]] ([[User talk:Pintoch|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 08:23, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

: {{oppose}} duplicates the existing property proposed at [[Wikidata:Property proposal/Archive/48#P2699]]. I don't think it can work work as intended by the proposer ("it's more convenient to query endpoints without qualifier."). Maybe it's just that the use case isn't specified. <br/>--- [[User talk:Jura1|Jura]] 06:15, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
:: This makes no sense to me: you just argued the opposite at [[Wikidata:Property proposal/SPARQL endpoint]] -- [[User:JakobVoss|JakobVoss]] ([[User talk:JakobVoss|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 21:07, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
::*I don't think I did, but it's possible that I just don't understand your usecase. As you haven't given it, that seems normal. So what do you want to do with this property that you can't do with the one proposed for the same at [[Wikidata:Property proposal/Archive/48#P2699]]. Please include a sample query and application.  <br/>--- [[User talk:Jura1|Jura]] 04:05, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
: {{s}} - Bit sad that we already have {{P|P5305}}, because this seems to be much more versatile. [[User:Husky|Husky]] ([[User talk:Husky|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 19:20, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
: {{s}} - I actually like that we have {{P|P5305}} as well, because I think that a SPARQL endpoint has particularly strong relevance for people working with Wikidata. But I do think this property is a useful distinction over generic {{P|2699}} -- an API for data extraction is a very specific sort of URL, that it is useful to separate from other sorts of URLs the site may offer; and the API URL statements are already going to be quite complicated, with quite a lot of potential qualifiers flying around.  It's a lot cleaner to be able to consider them separately, without them being muddled together with all sorts of other URLs, with all sorts of other role-specific qualifiers.

* {{O}} As noted above, this duplicates {{P|P2699}}, whose documentation should be clarified. It may, though, be useful to have a new property with an '''$1''' component. <span class="vcard"><span class="fn">[[User:Pigsonthewing|Andy Mabbett]]</span> (<span class="nickname">Pigsonthewing</span>); [[User talk:Pigsonthewing|Talk to Andy]]; [[Special:Contributions/Pigsonthewing|Andy's edits]]</span> 10:23, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
::{{reply to|Pigsonthewing}} More accurately, it's a ''specialisation'' of P2699 rather than a duplication.  This property is proposed to segregate off a specific subset of things currently loaded on the reserve backstop property {{P|2699}}.
