I'm using the Wikipedia API to retrieve links within pages, and
backlinks to those pages. Is there any way to filter results of
prop=links, prop=linkshere or list=backlinks to retrieve only results
that e.g. begin with a certain letter? Something like from=La&to=Lz
would be nice - but it doesn't appear to be available.
At the moment the solution I have is to get ALL the links, using the
continuation parameters, then just pull out those that match my
criteria. But this can sometimes require numerous API calls, and seems a
bit inelegant. Have I missed any other options?
Thanks; Andrew
