You might be interested in the list=geosearch API call. I used it in my demo service ici, which displays articles about your current location: http://inkdroid.org/ici/ I actually ended up pulling out the api querying bits into a separate Javascript library called wikigeo that takes some coordinates, and will query the Wikipedia API, and format the results as GeoJSON for easy placement on Leaflet or Google Maps. http://edsu.github.io/wikigeo/ //Ed On Tue, Jun 25, 2013 at 3:40 PM, Luigi Assom <luigi.assom(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > wiki exposes the nearby search of articles: > http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Nearby > > I now you can use prop=coordinates to expose the coordinates of one > article. > > > > http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=coordinates&tit… > > Is there any api to expose the nearby service for fetching articles > close to > one's coordinate? > How to do the nearby above? > > > > -- > Luigi Assom > > Skype contact: oggigigi > > _______________________________________________ > Mediawiki-api mailing list > Mediawiki-api(a)lists.wikimedia.org > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-api > _______________________________________________ Mediawiki-api mailing list Mediawiki-api(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-api

Apart from the thumbnail, these come back as part of the example response in the example, which is easier to see in the JSON (for me): http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=geosearch&gsrad… I suggest you start experimenting with that, and move on to figuring out how to get images back using geosearch as a generator. //Ed On Tue, Jun 25, 2013 at 4:26 PM, Luigi Assom &lt;luigi.assom(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: > thank you Ed, > > for curid I mean pageid of the article. > I basically nead the title, the pageid, the thumbnail (and if possible also > the meters of distance from your position ) > is it already in your package? > > > On Tue, Jun 25, 2013 at 10:23 PM, Ed Summers &lt;ehs(a)pobox.com&gt; wrote: >> >> You should find an example below the doc if you scan the page for >> list=geosearch, I think it has this: >> >> >> http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=geosearch&gsrad… >> >> It is possible to use the geosearch query as a generator for getting >> page information, like revision ids (is that what you meant by >> curid?).
