- The Wikidata API (documentation) consists of several such modules running on Wikidata wiki that let you query and manipulate language-independent information.
- The RESTBase content API (generated documentation) runs on each wiki so you can retrieve page content quickly and easily.
- You can search wiki content using various modules in the action API, and Wikidata has its own Wikidata query service. Search and discovery provides an overview.
There are many other ways to contribute to MediaWiki.
