page_links: Retrieve a page's links

In WikipediR: A MediaWiki API Wrapper

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)
