This is an awesome tool!

I'm interested in building a fact checker from a wikipedia graph, and your SDOW seems like a great place to start (I'm intending to use an algorithm inspired from researchers at Indiana University http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal....). I was wondering if your database has a non-GUI API. Is there a URL or something I can hit to get back JSON or XML as a response?

I'd prefer you not send any additional load to my server (this is just a side project I'm paying out of pocket for), but you are welcome to download the data yourself. There are instructions in the project README[1] to download the SQLite files I use in the project and I should have documented enough about the schema for you to know what queries to make. I am happy to answer questions via GitHub issues if you have them.
