Lingualibre wikibase API may be in end of life.

Explore relying on Wikimedia Commons API queries :

One API query response on Commons has a limit of 500. To ensure code's resilience and handling of larger categories you need to recursively query the API using continue.cmcontinue if you query using list=categorymembers. Append &origin=* or it could fail due to xhr cross origin.

Clean ups ?

May require bot clean up or API query starting on parent category https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Videos_Langue_des_signes_française
