Thanks Roan for your fast replay, my problem now is that I have only the curid and not the title of the page... How can I get the page title from a curid? regards, Marco

Hi Roan, thanks for your reply, was really helpful!!! May I ask you another suggestion? If I search on wikipedia about 'George Bush', I will see the following results: George Bush may refer to: * George Bush (biblical scholar), 19th century biblical scholar and preacher * George Washington Bush (1779–1863), first black settler in what is now the state of Washington * ......... how can I fetch the list of short descriptions using the API? kind regards Marco

Hi Roan, first I want to say you thank one more time for yours helpful suggestions. Now I can fetch the main description of the topic i am looking for using: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&rvpro… I received a correct json object, but the content of the revision is full of data I do not need like {{....}} [[...]] ecc. I would like to get only the clean description, only text (like the one visible from the wiki website). I'm trying to find a regex pattern but without good results... How can I do that? there is some parser to clean my json object? hope someone could help me out|! kind regards Marco
