I want to download the template source used in a wikipedia page (basically for generating the display text of a key). SO i am basically want this info
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Infobox%20cricketer&action=edit
for Template:Infobox cricketer
I have found an api for wikipedia called Template data
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TemplateData
But the examples given:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=templatedata&titles=Template:Stub
does not seem to work.
I think you misunderstood what Extension:TemplateData is for. It's for getting metadata about a template, which only works if that template provides those metadata.
If what you want the text of the template, you should use prop=revisions&rvprop=content, for example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=Template:Infobox%20cricketer&prop=revisions&rvprop=content

I've been search for a couple of months now for nice swagger to HTML converter and I can't seem to find anything that will generate something that looks like the Strava API reference (https://strava.github.io/api/v3/routes/#list) or the Paypal API reference (https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/payments.billing-plans#plan_create).
They are not the only one with this template so I'm guessing it's an HTML generator that I just couldn't find with my google search skills. Anybody knows how to generate doc looking like this without coding it yourself?
Given that you already have the Swagger/OpenAPI spec, you can use Swagger Codegen to generate documentation.
Go to https://editor.swagger.io
Import your Swagger spec under "File" in the top menu
Under "Generate Client" in the top menu, select Html2 (preferred), HTML or dynamic HTML.
(https://editor.swagger.io leverages https://generator.swagger.io to generate code and https://generater.swagger.io is powered by swagger-codegen)
Is there a way to get the intro content from wikipedia page to my mediawiki page? I was thinking of using wikipedia's api but i dont know how to parse the url on my page and also with templates. I just want a query that will display the introduction part of a wikipedia page on my page?d
I used the External_Data Extension and Wikipedia's api to achieve this.
The API
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php? action=query&prop=extracts&format=json&exintro=&titles=[title of wikipedia page]
How I used it
{{#get_web_data:
url=http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php? action=query&prop=extracts&format=json&exintro=&titles={{PAGENAME}}
|format=JSON|data=extract=extract}}
How I displayed the extract on pages
{{#external_value:extract}}
I however need to figure out how to get only a paragraph from the return text. Will probably use a parser function.
I'm trying to get an rss feed of a list of tweets with a given hashtag, including the images that may be attached to the tweets.
I've used several different scripts out there, but none include the media_url entity that I believe I need, according to twitter's docs on API entities. They do include other necessary things like author, tweet description, author profile pic, etc.
I've used labnol's script, no luck.
I'm currently using Twitter-RSS-Parser, which doesn't give me an image link either.
I'm not very familiar with any of the actual coding, just trying to piece together other people's findings.
Is there a way to edit either of these scripts to provide a link to the image attached to each tweet, or any other script out there that already does this?
Thanks!
Those labnol scripts will need the following parameter added to them &include_entities=true
That will ensure that Tweets which have photos will have their entity meta data returned.
I ended up using tweedledee (can't find a link anymore!) scripts, which allow for specific queries and output in JSON. From there I was able to format the JSON data as needed.
I have looked at the readability api which is useful to display data in a clean format on a html webpage. I am passing a Url to http://www.readability.com/read?url= to display the data. I am initially directed to a page where I can choose to view the info using readability is there any way I can directly view the content in a neat fashion without going through the actual re-direct?
take a look at Readability's API: http://www.readability.com/developers/api
Before you implement your code, you have to create an API Key on their website.
I know there is a list of similar questions but all handle pages without user interaction (static even though some js may be there).
Let's say we've a page the user can interact (e.g. svg than changes, or html tables with drilldown - content changes). Those interactions will change the page. Same happens in stackoverflow when entering the question...
The idea is adding a button, "convert to pdf" taking the state of the html and sending to the user back a pdf version (we've a Java server).
Using the print of the browser is not the answer I'm looking for :-).
Is this a stick in the moon ?
You would have to store the parameters that generate the HTML view (i.e. what the user clicks on, what selections they make, etc). If you can have a list of parameters that generate the HTML view, you can have a method which accepts the list of parameters (JSON post?), generates the HTML view and passes it to your PDF generating routine. I'm not too familiar with Java libraries for this purpose, but PHP has TCPDF can take html output to basically generate a PDF for you. Certainly, there are Java libraries which will allow you to do the same thing, or you can use the parameters to get a list of rows/arrays which can be iterated over and output using the PDF library of your choice.
Both iTextPDF and Aspose.PDF would allow you to do that (I've seen them used in two different projects), but there is no magic and you will have to do some work.
The steps are roughly:
Get (as a string) the part of the document which you want to print with jQuery or innerHTML
Call a service on the server side to convert this to PDF
[Serverside] Use a whitlist - based tool to clean up the hmtl (unless you want to be hacked). JSoup is great for that.
[Serverside] Use IText or Aspose API to create the PDF from the HTML (this is not trivial, you will have to read the doc)
Download the document
I'd also recommend DocRaptor, an HTML to PDF API built by my company, Expected Behavior.
DocRaptor uses Prince XML to generate PDFs, and thus produces higher quality results than similar products.
Adding PDF generation to your own web application using our service is as simple as making an HTTP POST request to our server.
Here's a link to DocRaptor's home page:
