`wikidata_recent_changes`

Pack: wikidata · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/wikidata/mcp

Newest items created or edited on Wikidata right now, from the live MediaWiki recent-changes feed. Answers “which Wikidata item was created most recently”, “what QIDs were created today”, “what changed on Wikidata in the last hour”, “recent edits to Wikidata items”. Returns each change newest-first with its Q-id, revision id, previous revision id, UTC timestamp, editing user, edit comment and byte size, plus a cursor for paging further back.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`type`	string	no	Which changes to list: “new” for freshly created items (default), “edit” for edits to existing items, “all” for both.
`namespace`	number	no	Wikidata namespace: 0 = items/Q-ids (default), 120 = properties/P-ids, 146 = lexemes.
`limit`	number	no	Max changes to return (1-50, default 10).
`since`	string	no	Stop at this UTC timestamp, ISO 8601 (e.g. “2026-08-22T00:00:00Z”). Listing runs newest-first back to this point.
`user`	string	no	Only changes made by this Wikidata username (e.g. “Dsp13”).
`cursor`	string	no	Continue token from a previous call\x27s “cursor” field, to page further back in time.
