yields json contents for the word 'murky'.
[snip]
content['query']['pages']['54377']['revisions][0]['*'] yields meaning and other related contents.
I am interested to retrieve the meaning of the word. how can I do it?
In this scenario I find api to be unusable since pageid is dynamically generated which is required to access the contents.
If you pass the &indexpageids=1 parameter, the API will output an array containing the page IDs used in the response.

Thanks .
Yes I can use xml and find contents inside <rev></rev> tag, but how will some one fetch synonym alone and part of speech alone?
The API does not provide a way to get just the IPA pronunciation, or just the synonyms, or fetch any other semantic information. The only thing that is offered is separation into sections using ==Headers== , for anything else you'll have to extract the information yourself AFAIK.
Instead of separating contents with ==Headers== it will be freaking
awesome if it is returned as array, This makes easy for end users. Else I need to write my own parser.
