Krishna,
You can use this too:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Export to export
many pages in the XML format by simply inserting the names of the pages (or
inserting a category name, for example a category that lists the
celebrities). With this, you can export 1000 pages per time. Or you can go
to the
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download to get the
entire wikipedia XML. Then you can filter whenever you want :-).

Thanks for the link provided. I tried my best to
understand how to extract
data from Wikipedia using APIs. But I failed miserably. Please can someone
help me out to give me a simpler link or example showing the data from
Wikipedia.
Something like this :
http://api.rottentomatoes.com/api/public/v1.0/movies.json?apikey=e8qkmhd7s4…
Click on the above link and check how simpler it is to get data from
Rotten Tomatoes. Is there any link in that way?
Thanks in advance.

Krishna,
Try this page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php
I find some of the other documentation a bit confusing. The above link
seems to have everything in one place. It takes a while to go through it.
Once you gain some familiarity with the API you will be able to formulate
more specific questions, then you will find the people on this mailing list
to be very helpful.
Good luck!

Dear Team,
I am planning to start a new website containing celebrities from
different areas like in sports, movies and politics. For this I am planning
to exract data from Wikipedia using API in XML or JSON format. Can someone
send me Wikipedia API and the format of response I get? I am pretty much
new to this type of technical stuff. I tried going through the document but
could not understand much in detail. An example format will be of great use.
Thanks in advance.
