Thanks for your quick reply. Appreciate it. As JSON results are fairly limited, we consider setting up a proxy to fetch your XML-results - unless you want to set up a crossdomain file for us all :-)
Our sys admin is a bit worried about proxies and potential misuse. Are you ok with this?

The fact that we don't offer this information in all formats kinda sucks; it's because the JSON format and XML format are different standards for returning search results. URLs are trivial to generate, though, with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pagename_with_underscores_instead_of_spaces Roan Kattouw (Catrope) _______________________________________________ Mediawiki-api mailing list Mediawiki-api@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-api _______________________________________________ Mediawiki-api mailing list Mediawiki-api@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-api
