Wikipedia REST API

This is a very basic example, as Wikipedia does not require authentification. It displays the content of the Wikipedia article with the given name.

Datasource

Datasource type	REST Custom
Datasource URL	`https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php`
Datasource Test URL	`?action=parse&page=Vancouver&format=json`

Query

Query URL	`?action=parse&page=:Title&format=json`
Example parameters	`Title`: `Vancouver` (can be any title of a Wikipedia article)
Raw result	CODE `{ "parse":{ "title":"Vancouver", "pageid":32706, "revid":1076947989, "text":{ "*":"HTML_CONTENT" }, "FURTHER_CONTENT_OMITTED": "" } }`

Converter

JS

function convert(json) {
    var parsedJsonObject = JSON.parse(json);
    var wikipediaContent = parsedJsonObject.parse.text['*'];
    return [{ "wikipediaContent": wikipediaContent }];
}

Template

We want to display the HTML content from Wikipedia that we can find in our JSON result. We also want to use the styles from Wikipedia.

CODE

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/load.php?debug=false&lang=en&modules=site.styles&only=styles&skin=vector">
 
$result.get(0).wikipediaContent
