Hi,
I would like to fetch all page text information of all wiki pages that belong to a movie category. Eg: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Hindi_songs
From the page text I would like to extract information related to song title, song length, singer, name of movie/album etc. I am not interested in extracting images just the information about the song.
My questions:
- Is there a way to download only those pages that I am interested in
that belong to a particular category instead of downloading the entire dump?
- Is it required to have PHP knowledge to install the db dump on a local
machine?
- Are there are tools that extract the information and provide the
required data to be stored in MySQL database?
If this is not the right forum to have my questions answered could you please redirect me to the appropriate forum.
Thanks and regards, Venkatesh Channal
