Prop = extracts does not return all extracts in the WikiMedia API
I would like to use the wikipedia API to return an extract from multiple Wikipedia articles at once. I am trying, for example, to execute the following request (I just randomly selected pageids):
But it only contains the extract for the first pageid, not the second. Other properties do not seem to have this limitation. for example
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=xml&action=query&pageids=3258248|11524059&prop=categories
will return categories for both pages. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Pay attention to the element <query-continue>
. He tells you that in order to receive additional statements, you need to specify excontinue=1
:
You should be able to get both of them by specifying exlimit=max
:
But it doesn't work correctly, I'm not sure why.
By the way, categories have similar restrictions, which is why your category request has <query-continue>
and why it doesn't list all categories of articles.
