How to use wikipedia api if it exists?
I'm using YQL to get information from Wikipedia and store it in my private Database. For example I'm scraping this page. I need all the film names from the page. I'm using this code:
HTML:
$.YQL("select * from html where url='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rajinikanth_filmography' and xpath='/html/body/div[3]/div[3]/div[4]/table'", function (data) {
var str = data.query.results.table.tr;
console.log(str);
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "db.php",
data: {
sendingStr: str
},
success: function(data){
console.log(data);
}
});
});
PHP:
$recv = $_POST['sendingStr'];
$arraySize = count($recv);
for ($i=1; $i < $arraySize; $i++) {
foreach ($recv[$i]["td"][1] as $value) {
foreach ($value as $val) {
if(strlen($val["content"]) >= 3)
{
echo $val["content"] . "\n";
}
}
}
}
Here is my problem- If you notice in the page, each row in the table has several rowspans. But when I scrap it, I'm getting only first value from each row. What should I change in my code so that I get all values?
