I'm developing a Wikipedia Viewer and I'm trying to extract some data from the Wikipedia API. This is supposed to be a normal request, any idea why this method is not giving any response? I'm using fetch library. The line console.log(data) doesn't run at all.
function getArticleList() {
var searchFor = "";
searchFor = document.getElementById('intext').value;
console.log(searchFor);
fetch("https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&search=" + searchFor + "&limit=5").then(function(resp) {
console.log("trySearch");
return resp.json()
}).then(function(data) {
console.log(data);
document.querySelector.artName.innerText = data.object[1];
document.querySelector.textArt.innerText = data.object[0];
document.querySelector.href = data.object[2]
})
};
From Wikimedia's documentation: 'For anonymous requests, origin query string parameter can be set to * which will allow requests from anywhere.'
The following worked for me:
fetch("https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?&origin=*&action=opensearch&search=Belgium&limit=5").then(function(resp) {
console.log(resp);
return resp.json()
}).then(function(data) {
console.log(data);
Notice that I filled in my own search with 'Belgium', but your code should work with the right modifications.
