I still need the API to easily fetch some data (links, categories etc) so if
I can get the HTML out of it it will be really nice for my application. Is
there such an option?
Thanks once again,
Markos

Hi all,
I've been using the API and so far I'm very pleased! I would like to
know
if
it is possible to get the HTML version of an
article directly , or if I
have
to get the wiki markup and convert it (which is
what i am doing).
You don't need the API to get the HTML version of an article. You can just
use action=render
Second question is if the API can return the
'search' results of a
keyword
that doesn't exist (when you enter a word for
which there isn't an
article
yet, wikipedia returns a page with possible
articles). Can the API
provide
me with the list? I've tried most things on
the manual but none worked
for
me (so please don't respond rtfm :) )
Sadly, the search API is not yet supported by the Lucerne search
backend currently
in place on Wikipedia et al.

Thanks for the great work to everyone involved
with the API or reading
the
list,
Markos
