Is there a Wikipedia API?

Locked. This question and its answers are locked because the question is off-topic but has historical significance. It is not currently accepting new answers or interactions.

On my Wikipedia user page, I run a Wikipedia script that displays my statistics (number of pages edited, number of new pages, monthly activity, etc.).

I'd like to put this information on my blog.

Is there an API that would allow me to do something like this?

回答1:

MediaWiki's API is running on Wikipedia (docs). You can also use the Special:Export feature to dump data and parse it yourself.

More information.

回答2:

Wikipedia is built on MediaWiki, and here's the MediaWiki API.

回答3:

If you want to extract structured data from Wikipedia, you may consider using DbPedia http://dbpedia.org/

It provides means to query data using given criteria using SPARQL and returns data from parsed Wikipedia infobox templates

Here is a quick example how it could be done in .NET http://www.kozlenko.info/blog/2010/07/20/executing-sparql-query-on-wikipedia-in-net/

There are some SPARQL libraries available for multiple platforms to make queries easier
