Thanks.
Right now I am trying to download sections of WikiSource texts from a
command line (because I want to translate them mobilely in Termius) and
reupload the translations to Wikisource.
Explored using ws-export, looks good but so far a little stuck on the
installation.
As for the API I am still learning the ropes. For example this command also
does not return text as I was hoping:
Is it just impossible to use the API on Wikisource?
What about “parse”?
Thanks,
Julius

The WS Export tool can't export just a single
page, no.
You could get the HTML from e.g.
https://en.wikisource.org/api/rest_v1/page/html/Little_Essays_of_Love_and_V…
and process it into the form you want. I suspect that most plain text
forms of those title and contents pages will not look great though, as
they're often full of different font sizes, images, tables, etc.
Out of interest, what are you trying to do? Perhaps there's another way
to get what you need.

Hey,
It seems relatively easy to export any section of a Wikisource book
with the "download" button, but there is no way to export just the
preface / title page. If you press "download" on the title page, the
section name is just the book name, so you download the entire book
instead of just the preface.
For example:
https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Little_Essays_of_Love_and_Virtue
Is this intentional? Is there any good way to export the plaintext of
just the preface, via some command / functionality / API?
Thank you,
Julius
