Hi Ed, The query you mentioned returns external urls in the web page. May be the word I used is ambiguous. In some Wikipedia pages there is a section called "External Links". It is normally after further reading section. so in this example Amoxicillin Wikipedia page, there is a table like structure having a heading "Antibacterials: cell envelope antibiotics (J01C-J01D)" under "External Link" section of the page. Basically, what I want to do is to get urls mentioned in that section for each wikipedia page. Do you get the requirement clearly now? Thank you. regards, Kalpa ________________________________________ From: mediawiki-api-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org [mediawiki-api-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org] on behalf of Ed Summers [ehs(a)pobox.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2012 10:27 PM To: MediaWiki API announcements& discussion Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-api] extracting external link portion of a wiki page Does, this get you what you need? http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=links&titles=Am… It should return all the Wikipedia links in the article.

Hi Masti, Thank you for the reply. As I see and searched in the API, there is no way that I can get the template extraction through the API. So what I am thinking is to get the list of templates through API as follows for Amoxicillin. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=templates&title… But I do not see the template "Template:Cell_wall_disruptive_antibiotics" as you mentioned in the last e-mail. I expected prop=templates query would give me all the properties in the wiki page. Then select the appropriate template to get external links using API as follows.
