Hey,
This API call works when I do it in Python using requests:
requests.get("https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php",
params={"action":"parse","page":"Aphrodisiac","prop":"wikitext","format":"json"})
but when I do it with wget or curl like this:
wget
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&page=Aphrodisiac&prop=wikit…
it doesn’t return pure JSON, it returns some kind of HTML and I don’t think
I even see the desired data inside.
But that URL works in the browser.
Why would it have this behavior? How do curl/wget differ from a browser
calling this string?
Thank you,
Julius
