How to get list of all items that have a particular property, in Wikidata?

Question

How collect Wikidata's entities by a certain property?

Answer 1

Assuming you are familiar with SPARQL, Wikidata (not to be confused with DBpedia) has an official endpoint and a page with example queries. The following example lists all countries with the property sovereign state:

PREFIX wikibase: <http://wikiba.se/ontology#>
PREFIX wd: <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/>
PREFIX wdt: <http://www.wikidata.org/prop/direct/>

SELECT ?cid ?country WHERE {
    ?cid wdt:P31 wd:Q3624078 .
    OPTIONAL {
        ?cid rdfs:label ?country filter (lang(?country) = "en") .
    }
}

Answer 2

While not the most script-friendly, here is the easiest/fastest way to get what you want without any third-party:

1) Go to the Wikidata page of the property

2) Click What links here in the left panel's Tools section:

3) Enjoy the paged list:

Answer 3

You can do it by using MediaWiki API for Wikidata with backlinks query

https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=backlinks&blnamespace=0&bllimit=500&&bltitle=Property:P1086

In above example blnamespace=0 means the result list to include only items (without user pages, talk pages, templates, etc.). The example is for atomic number (P1086) property.

Answer 4

Depending on what property you are looking for (the question isn't that clear) you could use DBpedia and SPARQL any entities that have a connection with a certain link/property.
