How to list all properties on a custom Wikibase instance

Question

I am trying to list all properties created in on a wikibase I installed, using docker-compose, based on this install.

Now, want to list all properties that are available in this wikibase, similar to getting that list available through:

<wikibase.url>wiki/Special:ListProperties

I have also extracted that list through SPARQL with the following SPARQL query:

PREFIX rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>
PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>
PREFIX xsd: <http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#>
PREFIX wikibase: <http://wikiba.se/ontology#>
PREFIX schema: <http://schema.org/>
PREFIX skos: <http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#>

SELECT DISTINCT
  ?property
  ?propertyType
  ?propertyLabel
  ?propertyAltLabel
WHERE {
  ?property a wikibase:Property ;
              rdfs:label ?propertyLabel ;
              wikibase:propertyType ?propertyType .
  OPTIONAL {?property skos:altLabel ?propertyAltLabel .}
}

Running that SPARQL query is expensive though and I need to run that query often, so I would very much like to get that list of properties to the core wikibase API.

Is that possible?

If you know the namespace number for properties on the target wiki (it’s usually 122 if the wiki has an Item: namespace, or 120 if, like on Wikidata, items are in the main namespace), you can use the core allpages API: https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages&apnamespace=120

To also get the labels at the same time, use it as a generator and combine it with the entityterms API (new in 1.35; looks like it’s not documented yet, but see T257658): https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=query&generator=allpages&gapnamespace=120&prop=entityterms&wbetterms=label
