This AutoHotkey library provides a convenient way to retrieve information from Wikipedia pages. It allows you to search for pages based on keywords and retrieve various details such as category, description, citations, summary, and links.

Usage

Prerequisites

Include the JXON.ahk library in your AutoHotkey script. https://github.com/TheArkive/JXON_ahk2

Example

#Include _JXON.ahk
#Include Wikipedia.ahk
; set content header
wiki := Wikipedia() 
page := wiki.query("python coding") 
; python coding is NOT an exact match to the page title 
; this return value stores only the primary match. 
; up to 5 results will be returned with object.pages
; matches are based on keywords and not title 1:1

MsgBox(page.text) ; the first result's text contents

msg := ""
for sections in wiki.pages[2].sections {
    /**
     * wiki.pages[] includes all 5 potential matchs, with best to worst order
     * page.sections or wiki.pages[2].sections returns=>
     * 
     * sections.category => "=== History ==="
     * sections.text => "Python was founded by...."
     */
    if sections.category && sections.text {
        msg .= sections.category ":`n" sections.text "`n`n`n"
    }
}
MsgBox(msg) ;prints all sections and text enumerated

MsgBox(page.links) ; this is a concaeted string but change to link_list and returns an array
enumerate_pages_returned(wiki.pages)




enumerate_pages_returned(wiki_pages){
