How do I get Html Source of a Wiktionary page?

I am struggling withe Wiki Api. How can I simply get a pages html using the API. I know it is possible as I have done it before but I cannot remember how to do it.

Say I want the page source for the page http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bicycle how do I do it. What API do I use. I do not want to look in the Browser?

Solution

  • With Java and Jsoup you can do this:

    Document document = Jsoup
        .connect("http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bicycle")
        .get();

Element bodyContent = document.select("div#bodyContent").first();

System.out.println(bodyContent.html());
