I have trouble understanding wikipedia API.
I have isolated a link, by processing json that I got as a response after sending a request to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php
Assuming that I got the following link, how do I get access to information like date of birth, etc.
I'm using python. I tried doing a
import urllib2,simplejson
search_req = urllib2.Request(direct_url_to_required_wikipedia_page)
response = urllib2.urlopen(search_req)
I have tried reading the api. But, I can't figure out how to extract data from specific pages.
