Thanks Tommy chheng for the reply.
My requirement is to get the information of things I posted in the query.
example: I post the following query:
I want to get all the states in USA.
so I was looking if I can get the JSON putput and use any tool to extract the JSON output
for alll the states..
I was bit histent to use new API's but I will look into that..also
can you tell me if there is any other good tools that convert for me JSON to get the
information i am looking

If your work focuses on getting structured data, i recommend using
). They both structure
wikipedia data and they have structured query languages.

Hi all,
I am new to wikipedia API.
can you help me with the following:
I want to grep all the content of the "united states of america" to a text file
with out images.
I am looking a response in text format.
How can I do that?
looking for:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States page contents.
I got this url constructed:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=xml&action=query&titles=un…
But I am not getting what I want ..:(.may be I am missing some thing basic
A simple mistake: You are writing the article in lowercase.
Try with
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=xml&action=query&titles=Un…
I did based on
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php..
1.how can I get the content of what ever string I give in the query?
please help me with the url.
2. I am trying to have this in a text file. can I get the response in the text format?
other than xml and json?
See the list of formats at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Data_formats#Output
3. In the unites_states example, I want to get
the first coulm of the citys (
Leading population centers
)
how can I get that .
Extracting content from the inside of the article content will require you to perform
some parsing of the wikitext.
