page_external_links {WikipediR} | R Documentation

## Retrieve a page's links

### Description

page_external_links, when provided with a page title, retrieves external wikilinks from the current revision of that page.

### Usage

    page_external_links(language = NULL, project = NULL, domain = NULL, page,
      protocol = NULL, clean_response = FALSE, ...)

### Arguments

`language` | The language code of the project you wish to query, if appropriate.
`project` | The project you wish to query ("wikiquote"), if appropriate. Should be provided in conjunction with `language`.
`domain` | as an alternative to a `language` and `project` combination, you can also provide a domain ("rationalwiki.org") to the URL constructor, allowing for the querying of non-Wikimedia MediaWiki instances.
`page` | the title of the page you want the links of.
`protocol` | limit links to those with certain link protocols. Options are listed in Special:ApiSandbox's elprotocol field.
`clean_response` | whether to do some basic sanitising of the resulting data structure. Set to FALSE by default.
`...` | further arguments to pass to httr's GET.

### Examples

    #Links
    external_links <- page_external_links("en","wikipedia", page = "Aaron Halfaker")

    #Protocol-specific links
    external_http_links <- page_external_links("en","wikipedia",
                                              page = "Aaron Halfaker", protocol = "http")
