Hello Steve,
This is perfect! I don't know why I didn't see categorymembers before. I
think I will use the wptools though, because it is much faster.
Hm, it looks like -ant is missing from this list.
Thank you,

See
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Categorymembers
The API limit is 500. Here are the first 500:
https://en.wiktionary.org/w/api.php?action=query&formatversion=2&li…
categorymembers&cmlimit=500&cmtitle=Category%3AEnglish%20agent%20nouns
<https://en.wiktionary.org/w/api.php?action=query&formatversion=2&list=categorymembers&cmlimit=500&cmtitle=Category:English%20agent%20nouns>
Wptools (python) can probably simplify your task:
>> import wptools
>> cat = wptools.category('Category:English agent nouns', wiki='
en.wiktionary.org')
>> cat.get_members()
>> len(cat.data['members'])
576

Hello,
I am new with using the API and can’t seem to get the list of words from:
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Category:English_agent_nouns
I have managed to get the page:
https://en.wiktionary.org/w/api.php?format=jsonfm&formatversion=2&t…
Category:English_agent_nouns&action=query
But nothing I have tried has worked. I originally tried:
https://en.wiktionary.org/w/api.php?format=jsonfm&formatversion=2&t…
Category:English_agent_nouns&action=query&list=allpages
and I would expect for a list of pages (aka words) with a title attribute
to show up, but instead I get titles such as: "title": "!" which is
not
very useful.
I have also tried going through all the props, but still nothing. I don’t
really understand props and list, but something should have given all the
words.
My goal is to use request to fetch the JSON so I can use the words in a
script.
Are there any tutorials or guides that go into getting lists of words like
this?
Thank you,
