Dear Soumya!

I'm going to try to explain my question, when I said "content" I wanted to say the column "page_content_model" of the table "page" in the database. This column is like a real text on the page. (wikitext format)

For example, if I have a page named "Main page" and in the body is written "This is my page" I want to get this sentence.

We want to make a wiki with code about an app that the company is developing and the idea is to make a plug-in which the developer can choose different options and a fiel with code will be created (with the wiki's information).

I thinked an option is read the page literally, that is, to take the html code and clean the tags, but I don't know if there is another posibility more elegant.

I hope that is clear.

Regards, Elisa

Dear all

I have one confusion and would be extremely grateful if some clarification is offered.

https://en.wikipedia.org//w/api.php?action=query&format=xml& prop=revisions&titles=Sachin_Tendulkar&rvprop=ids%7Ctimestam p%7Ccomment%7Cuser&rvlimit=30&rvdiffto=prev

This is a api request I prepared using mediawiki sandbox tool to get 30 sequential edits for the page Sachin Tendulkar. If you run the query in your browser you will see a diff field for each edit which probably is the difference between past and current edit. Here revision content field is false

https://en.wikipedia.org//w/api.php?action=query&format=xml& prop=revisions&titles=Sachin_Tendulkar&rvprop=ids%7Ctimestam p%7Ccomment%7Cuser%7Ccontent&rvlimit=30&rvdiffto=prev

This is the same request with content filed true

Now What I see is that for all 30 revision content field is more or less same and right now I am not able to understand what is the reason for the content field. If you know anything regarding this please let me know , I am also trying to understand this field.

Regards Soumya
