Hello,<div><br></div><div>I am writing a Java program to extract the abstract of the wikipedia page given the title of the wikipedia page. I have done some research and found out that the abstract with be in rvsection=0</div>

<div><br></div><div> So for example if I want the abstract of &#39;Eiffel Tower&quot; wiki page then I am querying using the api in the following way.</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&amp;prop=revisions&amp;titles=Eiffel%20Tower&amp;rvprop=content&amp;rvsection=0" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&amp;prop=revisions&amp;titles=Eiffel%20Tower&amp;rvprop=content&amp;rvsection=0</a></div>

<div><br></div><div>and parse the XML data which we get and take the wikitext in the tag <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">&lt;rev xml:space=&quot;preserve&quot;&gt; <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> which represents the abstract of the wikipedia page. But this wiki text also contains the infobox data which I do not need. I would like to know if there is anyway in which I can remove the infobox data and get only the wikitext related to the page&#39;s abstract Or if there is any alternative method by which I can get the abstract of the page directly.</span></span></div>

<div><br></div><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Looking forward to your help.</span></span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Thanks in Advance</span></span></div>
