page_links function

Retrieve a page's links

page_links, when provided with a page title, retrieves internal wikilinks from the current revision of that page.

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.
