Hi, wikipedia exposes the nearby search of articles: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Nearby I now you can use prop=coordinates to expose the coordinates of one article. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=coordinates&titles=New%20Jersey|Venice&format=jsonfm Is there any api to expose the nearby service for fetching articles close to one's coordinate? How to do the nearby above? I would like to fetch the curid (or curid + titles + images via prop modules) of closest articles, as in nearby indeed
I would like to make a query to wikipedia to fetch articles close to a location of the users, such as (fake example here). http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=coordinates&titles=New%20Jersey|Venice&format=jsonfm Is there any nearby module exposing results which can be done in combination of other props? How to obtain the nearby search like in wikimedia mobile? { "query": { "pages": { "21648": { "pageid": 21648, "ns": 0, "title": "San Marco Square", "coordinates": [ { "lat": 40, "lon": -74.5, "primary": "", "globe": "earth" } ] }, "32616": { "pageid": 32616, "ns": 0, "title": "Venice", "coordinates": [ { "lat": 45.4375, "lon": 12.3358, "primary": "", "globe": "earth" } ] } } } }
I'm not too clear on what the bug is here. There is an API http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox?action=geosearch#action=query&list=geosearch&format=json&gscoord=51%7C3&gsradius=1000&gslimit=10 The extension that provides it is documented here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:GeoData Hope this helps! Come to irc.freenode.org #wikimedia-mobile to chat some more about this Also note there are plans to explore enabling nearby on a per page basis: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/70236/
