<b>Subject:</b> [Mediawiki-api] How do I get a page without metadata?</span></p>

</div><div><div></div><div class="h5">

<p> </p>

<p>Hi all,<br>
<br>
I really like your API. I&#39;m wondering how do I get the data in xml format of a
page? I&#39;ve been using wikipedia&#39;s example here: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php</a>,
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?<br>
<br>
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query</a>
something I hope!<br>
<br>
Thanks for your help!</p>
