wikipedia-hyperlinks

Give me a term and I'll give you a list of links found in its Wikipedia article

Installation

This module requires Node.js 8 or higher, because it uses async functions.

Install as a module for programmatic use in your JavaScript code:

npm i wikipedia-hyperlinks --save

Or install as a command-line tool:

npm i -g wikipedia-hyperlinks

Module Usage

The module exports a single async function which expects a search string:

const wh = require('wikipedia-hyperlinks')

wh('Pierre Curie').then(links => {
  console.log(links.slice(0, 10))

  // Paris
  // University of Paris
  // Radioactivity
  // Curie-Weiss law
  // Curie constant
  // Curie temperature
  // Piezoelectricity
  // Marie Skłodowska-Curie
  // Irène Joliot-Curie
})

If no match is found, an empty array is returned.

CLI Usage

If you install the module globally, you'll have a command called wikipedia-hyperlinks on your PATH, and another called wh for convenience.

Enter a term:

wh Pierre Curie | head

Paris

Radioactivity
