page_links {WikipediR}

R Documentation

Retrieve a page's links

Description

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

Usage

page_links(language = NULL, project = NULL, domain = NULL, page,
  limit = 50, direction = "ascending", namespaces = 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.
`limit`	the number of links to retrieve. 50 by default; a maximum of 500 is set server-side.
`direction`	the direction to order the links in, by destination page ID: "ascending" or "descending". Set to "ascending" by default.
`namespaces`	The namespaces to filter to. By default, links to any namespace are retrieved: alternately, a numeric vector of accepted namespaces (which are described here) can be provided, and only backlinks from pages within those namespaces will be returned.
`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
links <- page_links("en","wikipedia", page = "Aaron Halfaker")

#Namespace-specific links
mainspace_links <- page_links("en","wikipedia", page = "Aaron Halfaker", namespaces = 0)
