Hi Ed,
The query you mentioned returns external urls in the web page. May be the
word I used is ambiguous. In some Wikipedia pages there is a section called
"External Links". It is normally after further reading section. so in this
example Amoxicillin Wikipedia page, there is a table like structure having a
heading "Antibacterials: cell envelope antibiotics (J01C-J01D)" under "External
Link" section of the page. Basically, what I want to do is to get urls
mentioned in that section for each wikipedia page. Do you get the requirement
clearly now? Thank you.
regards,
Kalpa

Does, this get you what you need?
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=links&titles=Amoxicillin&format=json&pllimit=500
It should return all the Wikipedia links in the article. The external
links are links to web properties outside of Wikipedia.
