The table you are referring to is a template. In this case
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Cell_wall_disruptive_antibiotics
so you need to extract links from this template page. They are not
directly stated in the article.

Hi Ed,
The query you mentioned returns external urls in the web page. May be the word I used is ambiguous. In
some Wikipedia pages there is a section called "External Links". It is normally after further
reading section. so in this example Amoxicillin Wikipedia page, there is a table like structure having a
heading "Antibacterials: cell envelope antibiotics (J01C-J01D)" under "External Link"
section of the page. Basically, what I want to do is to get urls mentioned in that section for each wikipedia
page. Do you get the requirement clearly now? Thank you.
regards,
Kalpa

Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-api] extracting external link portion of a wiki page
Does, this get you what you need?
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=links&titles=Amoxicillin&format=json&pllimit=500
It should return all the Wikipedia links in the article. The external
links are links to web properties outside of Wikipedia.

Hi,
I have been using mediaWiki API to get categories a page belongs to using
'query' for 'action' and 'category' for 'prop'.
Now I want to get external link part of a page. For example, Amoxicillin
wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amoxicillin has a table like
structure in the external links section down in the bottom of the page
having links to many other related concepts to Amoxicillin. I want to
retrieve links of those related concepts. Currently, I am looking for a way
to get these details. I am not sure yet whether I can do it through the API
or I just have to process the page to get those details. If there is a way
to get these details through MediaWiki API, please respond. Thank you very
much in advance.
regards,
Kalpa
