API Connector with MediaWiki API

Need help APIs
1

I’ve been playing with the API Connector and have just about fathomed it (thanks Pergolese). But when I come to use it with the Wikipedia API I have some problems. This is my config:

Bubble-WikiAPI-OP-Capture%202
Bubble-WikiAPI-OP-Capture%202851×865 54.7 KB

and the result:

Bubble-WikiAPI-OP-Capture
Bubble-WikiAPI-OP-Capture869×917 70.5 KB

I am not sure but I don’t think it should be returning the pageid’s as though they were keys. If I try to use them in, say, a repeating group then I only get data for THAT pageid. Does that make sense?

This is what the raw data looks like (minus some boring extra keys):

Bubble-WikiAPI-OP-Capture%203
Bubble-WikiAPI-OP-Capture%203913×451 35.1 KB

Is it possible that the Wiki JSON format is not working with the API Connector? Or more likely, I’m just doing something dumb?

Hey @jon.richings!

I think you just need to add another parameter:

formatversion=2

Here’s some info on it: API:JSON version 2 - MediaWiki

The relevant piece for you is that the query pages will come back as an array instead of distinct objects.

Hopefully that works better for you!
