[Mediawiki-l] How to retrieve wiki text from wikipedia html page?

[Christensen, Courtney]

Are you doing this with a script or by hand?
http://yoursite.com/api.php?action=query&generator=search&gsrsearch=free&prop=revisions&rvprop=content&format=xml should work.
Instead of free put whatever your search term is, and put whatever format you want in format.  Better instructions can be had by going to api.php with no arguments.
