Data Services includes services that allow for direct access to databases and dumps, as well as web interfaces for querying and programmatic access to data stores.
Data services currently include: Wiki Replicas, ToolsDB, Wikilabels Postgres, Wikimedia Dumps, Shared Storage, CirrusSearch Elasticsearch replicas, Quarry, PAWS, and the OSM Database.
About
Wiki Replicas are MySQL/MariaDB databases that replicate near-realtime from the production MediaWiki databases of Wikimedia Foundation wikis. The database tables are sanitized for public use.
How to access
About
ToolsDB is a service that allows a Tool shared user to create and maintain a Tool specific database.
How to access
ToolsDB is acessible on the following addresses:
- tools.db.svc.eqiad1.wikimedia.cloud (preferred)
- tools-db.tools.eqiad1.wikimedia.cloud
About
About
Wikimedia Dumps offers a range of data downloads including full text dumps, and other datasets. More documentation about dumps can be found at Data dumps. How to access
About
Shared Storage is offered via
NFS. It includes shared directories offered to VPS and Toolforge users. Currently offered shares are described at Help:Shared storage.
Wikimedia Dumps are also offered via the Shared Storage services, but treated as a Data Service because of their wide use.
How to access
The Toolforge environment is set up for access by default, and other Cloud VPS projects can access some resources by requesting access to listed shares by filing a task on Phabricator under the Data-Services and VPS-Projects projects.
CirrusSearch Elasticsearch replicas About
The "Cloud Elastic" servers are a replica of the
CirrusSearch Elasticsearch indices made available to Wikimedia Cloud Services applications (both Cloud VPS and Toolforge). Applications can use the full power of the elasticsearch search API's to query the search indices in ways that CirrusSearch does not expose directly on the wikis themselves. See Help:CirrusSearch elasticsearch replicas for more details.
How to access
These servers are not generally accessible from the internet at large, rather they are only accessible through applications running inside Wikimedia Cloud Services.
About
Quarry is a graphical web interface that allows users to query the Wiki Replicas with SQL. Quarry is extensively used by analysts, researchers, and people of all experience levels to easily access the databases. See m:Research:Quarry for help.
How to access
Quarry requires a Wikimedia SUL account to login.
About
PAWS is a
Jupyter notebooks installation hosted by Wikimedia Cloud Services that hosts Python notebooks and a terminal accessible through a web browser. You can access Wiki Replicas, ToolsDB and Dumps with PAWS. How to access
PAWS requires a Wikimedia SUL account to login.

How to access
Users of Toolforge, Cloud VPS, or PAWS have access to the Misc and Bulk APIs (Daily and Hourly Exports).
