You can use ?useskin=vector to fetch pages with the old HTML structure.
- Is there another better way to get the text. Basically I make a guessing work by converting some of the classical tags like H1/H2 etc into pseudo headings and so on, Bullet tags into bullet chars etc. The issue with the new design for me is that floating content now at the same level as all the items of the //main[@id='content'] tag, so I will have to do some filtering to get the main content without supplemental information.
Have you looked at Parsoid HTML? It's annotated HTML that makes it pretty straightforward to parse and extract content from wiki pages.
See <https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/#/Page%20content/get_page_html__title_> for the API and <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Specs/HTML> for the format.
