New subject: how to use api commands in batch mode ?

Hello, is it possible to get directly on disk the xml file produced by the api command below api.php?action=query&generator=allpages&gapnamespace=0&gaplimit=1000&format=xml using lynx -dump for example (I don't know how to do it) or an other batch mode procedure ? Best Francois Colonna

Use wget, curl, or any other program that downloads a URL and saves it to disk.

I tried wget http://localhost/~wiki/mediawiki/api.php?action=query&generator=allpage… it results in : <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>MediaWiki API Result</title> </head> <body> You are looking at the HTML representation of the XML format. HTML is good for debugging, but probably is not suitable for your application. See <a href='http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API'>complete documentation</a>, or <a href='/~wiki/mediawiki/api.php'>API help</a> for more information. <pre> <?xml version="1.0"?> <api /> </pre> </body> </html>  What did I miss ?

Are you sure you got the format= parameter right? Also, try querying en.wikipedia.org , does that work? Roan Kattouw (Catrope)

Use wget, curl, or any other program that downloads a URL and saves it to disk.

I tried wget

http://localhost/~wiki/mediawiki/api.php?action=query&generator=allpage…

it results in :
