Presumably this is because the infobox is at the end of the article, so is counted as being part of the final section, which is the see also section. So you are also getting everything in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Types_of_programming_languages.
You could maybe adjust this algorithm to look for any pagelinks in ns 10, look at all the things that they link to, and subtract them from your results, although I doubt that will work perfectly.
You could also try fetching the wikitext of the see also section, and attempting to parse it just for a list of links, but that's probably hard to get right.

Hi,
I'm using two step approach to retrieve "see also" section links from articles by retrieving sections and using the section index for links action. Today I noticed that for the article "Synchronous programming language" this gives unexpected results.
The page
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&prop=sections&page=S...
returns ... <s toclevel="1" level="2" line="See also" number="4" index="4" .....
and the following query
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&prop=links&page=Sync...
gives a long list of links very different to the actual correct list shown in the wikipedia article. Other usage of the same algorithm with other articles works correctly.
Is this a bug?
Thanks
Max
