Re: [Air-L] Tools to grab data from Wikipedia?
I don't know of any off the top of my head... I don't know how comfortable you are with programming and whatnot, but the API at en.wp is pretty robust and if you wanted to write your own bot to do that it probably wouldn't be too hard... ... or there's a great community around Wikipedia that might be able to help you write said bot ;) The toolserver has a lot of great tools as well, and someone involved in that part of the community may also be able to give you a hand: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Toolserver Hope that helps a little... -Christine MA Candidate, SJSU Community Associate, Wikimedia Foundation --- air-l-request@listserv.aoir.org wrote: Message: 8 Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2011 13:16:54 -0800 From: Randall Livingstone <livingst@uoregon.edu> To: air-l@listserv.aoir.org Subject: [Air-L] Tools to grab data from Wikipedia? Message-ID: <AANLkTim63-TUfw8+ZLmV1EQxsUC0B2oOZLdK5YzgfU0h@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Greetings- I'm wondering if anyone can direct me to available tools or scripts that aid in grabbing Wikipedia data (things like edit histories, editor contributions, etc.). I know there are tools like WikiXRay that grab a huge amount of data, but I'm hoping there are other tools that can grab a much smaller subset of data, either around a certain group of articles or a certain group of editors. Thank you in advance for the assistance... Randall -- Randall Livingstone Doctoral Student - Communication & Society School of Journalism & Communication University of Oregon livingst@uoregon.edu
