I am working on retrieving some particular bio details of a person from wikipedia page of that person through *wikipedia web API*.
I need to retrieve the *bio information box* of a person. *--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------* [image: Bio information of Mark Babic] *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------* *I found how to retrieve the content box , introduction paragraph and all.* The below URL is used to retrieve the first introduction para of the wiki webpage. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=json&action=query&prop=extracts&exintro=&explaintext=&titles=Sachin_Tendulkar 1)But I am struck with getting the above bio information box through wiki web api.So that i could*extract the specific details i want.* 2) Is it possible to get a *single information* like only the full name of the person or only DOB of the person *through a single query* (instead of getting the bio whole information and extracting the details from it).
