i'm trying to use wikipeida-API and get the contents(as HTML) of a page for example this one

i am trying with Sandbox but there is a misteke. In this page i'm writing San Francisco in Page section an it says The page you specified doesn't exist.Just like that.(click Make Request and see it)

what should i write in this page section.

Solution

you should write San Francisco to Page. there is nothing wrong. wrong thing is sandbox itself. If you write San Francisco to page it gives you that url:

/w/api.php?action=parse&format=json&page=San%20Francisco

add en.wikipedia.org to it and go to page. See everything is fine.Sandbox gives you error cause it programmed wrong basically.

if you want that page as HTML:

<?php
$ip_data = json_decode(file_get_contents("http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&format=json&page=Los%20Angeles"), true);
?>


<html>
<body>
     <?php print_r($ip_data['parse']['text']['*'])  ?>
</body>
</html>
