Vinay from the Internet Archive asked me, with reference to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Recent_changes :
> Hi Sumana, > > Is there someone I can contact regarding parsing out the URLs from the stream > of recent changes? The idea being to grab the text of the recent change and > extract out anything that looks like a URL and feed it into a queue at IA's > end for archiving. > > Looking at the Recent Changes feed, it looks like I'd need to parse the > 'diff' page to find any new links, or in the case of 'new' pages, parse the > new page to find all external links. Is there a better way? A live feed that > includes the text that's changed for every article? > > Thanks, > Vinay Vinay, #mediawiki on Freenode IRC, and possibly also the mediawiki-api mailing list, will be helpful to you. Thanks all. -- Sumana Harihareswara Engineering Community Manager Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
