Hello,
I have few question for discovery portal and API:
- possible to be included in the 0.05% who tried the* A/B test*?
- do you have or plan to have a feature for *discovery *between* topics?* E.g. suggestions connecting two topics. I ve been working on this.
- Which is the difference in API:Search between: *list=search *and* generator=search ?* The first seems to be faster to me.
- I need to fetch the *pageIDs* of the results, and have them already redirected and decorated with images and snipped/excerpt.
With generator=search I could do it, I can't with list=search Could you help in grasping query parameters?
#generator=search params = {'action':'query', 'generator':'search', 'gsrnamespace' : 0, 'gsrsearch' : keywords, 'gsrlimit' : 20 , 'prop' : 'pageimages|extracts', 'pilimit' : 'max', 'exintro' : '', 'explaintext' : '', 'exsentences' : 3, 'exlimit' : 'max', 'redirects' : '' }
#list=search params = {'action':'query', 'list':'search', 'srsearch' : keywords, 'srlimit' : 20 , 'srprop' : 'size', *'indexpageids' : 1 *} ??
I m trying with sand box with no success, only search results are hit, no matter of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox#action=query&list=searc...
- I also found 0&formatversion=2' is another param used in search=list Has it a special meaning?
