Has anyone parsed Wiktionary?


Wiktionary is a wiki dictionary that covers many languages. It even has translations. I would be interested in parsing it and playing with the data, has anyone does anything like this before? Is there any library I can use? (Preferably Python.)


Solution

  • Wiktionary runs on MediaWiki, which has an API.

    One of the subpages for the API documentation is Client code, which lists some Python libraries.
