If you look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neils_Bohr, you'll notice that it's not the actual article, it's a redirect:

(Redirected from Neils Bohr)

The actual article name (and the correct name of the physicist) is Niels Bohr. And, as expected

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=Niels%20Bohr&...

shows you the external links. Or, if you want to work with redirects, you can add "redirects" to your query and it will work even with the incorrect name:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=Neils%20Bohr&...

Hi,

I’m trying to get the list of external links on pages.

I can do this with the API query command, thus:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=Barack%20Obama&am...

In this case, requesting Barack Obama’s links.

Also it works well with Einstein:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=Albert%20Einstein...

However, another famous physicist, Neils Bohr, gives me nothing, even though looking at his article, there are several external links.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=Neils%20Bohr&...

Do you know why this is? Is it a bug?

Regards

           Mark
