Thanks. Right now I am trying to download sections of WikiSource texts from a command line (because I want to translate them mobilely in Termius) and reupload the translations to Wikisource.
Explored using ws-export, looks good but so far a little stuck on the installation. As for the API I am still learning the ropes. For example this command also does not return text as I was hoping: https://de.wikisource.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&rvprop=content&titles=Der_Held_von_Berlin Is it just impossible to use the API on Wikisource? What about “parse”? Thanks, Julius On Thu 22.
