API Implementation - Critique
by Mark Henderson 21 Feb '09

21 Feb '09

I need some help - I've implemented the API using CodeIgniter for a clients site and everything works on the site except for the wiki pages, which are sluggish. Here is my controller which lists the function calls being made and in what order: http://pastebin.com/m4021c1a7 And here is my model where the actual API calls are made: http://pastebin.com/dd7c504c The api.php file exists on the same server that is making the calls, so it should be instant but the pages are so very slow, and only in the instance of using the MW API. Any help or insight anybody could give would be MUCH appreciated. - Mark

I am working am trying to add geocoded Wiki data to a google map. When I used a PHP class (class_WikiRetriever.php) to do this - all I get is the full page dumped. ie everything on the wikipage is parsed. 1. What methods are used to extract specific elements of an article. Say the intro.? 2. How can only articles which have already been geotagged be selected? Many thanks Magnus
