I have used the php format so that it can be easily parsed.Is there any way
to get all the backlinks in one go.
No, the limits are there for a reason. Imagine
someone requesting the
full list of members of [[Category:Living people]] on enwiki would be
available through the API; the servers would be in excruciating pain
(if, of course, they could feel pain). You can still use the
query-continue feature to get them all in multiple requests, of course.
Moreover i am only concerned with the
number of backlinks. It is possible to get that?
No. Counting the number of
backlinks would be too heavy on the database.
