*Subject:* [Mediawiki-api] How do I get a page without metadata?
Hi all,
I really like your API. I'm wondering how do I get the data in xml format
of a page? I've been using wikipedia's example here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php, for details, and I can see how to
search for pages, get metadata, and other such nifty stuff. But really all I
want is the content of a page -- how would I, say, get the English wikipedia
data of the page on Albert Einstein in xml format?
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query something I hope!
Thanks for your help!
