Semantic External Query Lookup (a.k.a. SEQL) is a [Semantic Mediawiki][smw] extension to seamlessly integrate
query results from an external query source to a local repository or wiki.
The following [video](https://youtu.be/sOCh9M2sSvU) demonstrates the features of this extension.
## Requirements
- PHP 5.3.2 or later
- MediaWiki 1.28 or later
- [Semantic MediaWiki][smw] __3.0__ or later
## Installation
The recommended way to install Semantic External Query Lookup is by using [Composer][composer] with:
```json
{
"require": {
"mediawiki/semantic-external-query-lookup": "~1.0"
}
}
```
1. From your MediaWiki installation directory, execute
`composer require mediawiki/semantic-external-query-lookup:~1.0`
2. Add `wfLoadExtension('SemenaticExternalQueryLookup');` to the bottom of `LocalSettings.php`
3. Navigate to _Special:Version_ on your wiki and verify that the package
have been successfully installed.
## Usage
```
{{#ask:[[Modification date::+]][[~CR*]]
|?#-
|?Modification date
|format=broadtable
|source=mw-core
|link=all
|headers=show
}}
```
The `#ask`/`#show` query only requires to add a `source` parameter (assuming that
a query source has been registered and enabled) to retrieve query results from a
selected external endpoint. `Special:Ask` will provide a selection box to list
enabled query sources.
Information about required settings can be found [here](docs/00-configurations.md).
