How do I get a page without metadata? - Mediawiki-api

18 Mar 2009

Hi all,

I really like your API. I'm wondering how do I get the data in xml format of
a page? I've been using wikipedia's example here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php, for details, and I can see how to search
for pages, get metadata, and other such nifty stuff. But really all I want
is the content of a page -- how would I, say, get the English wikipedia data
of the page on Albert Einstein in xml format?

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query something I hope!

Thanks for your help!
