or you can request multiple pages
Just save and open in notepad to see the content format in json.
Definitely play with the API Sandbox,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/**
Special:ApiSandbox <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox>
You can also request more than one page at time.
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.**php?action=query&format=xml&**
prop=revisions&rvprop=content&**titles=The_Social_Network|**
Titanic_(1997_film)<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&f…
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/**api.php?action=query&format=**
xml&prop=revisions&rvprop=**content&titles=The_Social_**
Network%7CTitanic_%281997_**film%29<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?ac…
what the API will generate
/w/api.php?action=query&prop=**revisions&format=xml&rvprop=**
content&titles=The_Social_**Network%7CTitanic_(1997_film) <
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/**api.php?action=query&prop=**
revisions&format=xml&rvprop=**content&titles=The_Social_**
Network%7CTitanic_%281997_**film%29<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?ac…
You just need to add in the
http://en.wikipedia.org or whatever language
sub domain you need like:
http://de.wikipedia.org/w/api.**php?action=query&prop=**
revisions&format=xml&rvprop=**content&rvlimit=5&titles=The_**
Social_Network<http://de.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=r…
http://de.wikipedia.org/w/**api.php?action=query&prop=**
revisions&format=xml&rvprop=**content&rvlimit=5&titles=The_**
Social_Network<http://de.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=r…
gives you the German translation.
Tips on the API Sandbox is:
1. Format=choose it (format=xml)
2. Action - Set to Query (action=query)
3. Action - Right below, use drop down to choose prop value
(prop=revisions).
4. Choose what you want, content (rvprop=content)
5. Loose the revisions to return (rvlimit), clear the input box. I don't
know why they set that 10 automatically, let the user decide or else you'll
get a snapshot of the last 10 versions of the page.
6. Pick the title, you can get multiple titles by separating them with
the pipe | character.
The problem you will have to address is parsing out the wiki markup if
you just want pure text content. You'll have to find a sanitizer to strip
out all the wiki markup.
