As a Wikibase repository wiki operator, I want to reduce server load and have clients reuse cached data when possible.
Problem:
Wikidata Bridge currently gets its entity data from the wbgetentities API. We would like to use Special:EntityData, since that has a decent chance of being cached (if not in the client’s browser, then at least in datacenter-side caches); however, that’s currently not possible because that data may be out of date (T128486).
Example:

Acceptance criteria:
- Data Bridge uses the special page instead of the API.
