ERROR: type should be string, got "https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=extracts&titles=Tiger&format=json&exintro=1\n\nResponse:\n{\"batchcomplete\":\"\",\"query\":{\"pages\":{\"9796\":{\"pageid\":9796,\"ns\":0,\"title\":\"Tiger\",\"extract\":\"<p>The <b>tiger</b> (<i>Panthera tigris</i>) is a carnivorous mammal. It is the largest living member of the cat family, the Felidae. It lives in Asia, mainly India, Bhutan, China and Siberia.</p>\\n<p></p>\"}}}}\n\nHow do I get an output as\n\nThe tiger (Panthera tigris) is a carnivorous mammal. It is the largest living member of the cat family, the Felidae. It lives in Asia, mainly India, Bhutan, China and Siberia.\n\nPlease can someone also tell me how to store everything in a text file? I'm a beginner here so please be nice. I need this for a project I'm doing in Bash, on a Raspberry Pi 2, with Raspbian\n\nA: It's usually recommended to use JSON parser for handling JSON, one that I like is jq\n% jq -r '.query.pages[].extract' file\n<p>The <b>tiger</b> (<i>Panthera tigris</i>) is a carnivorous mammal. It is the largest living member of the cat family, the Felidae. It lives in Asia, mainly India, Bhutan, China and Siberia.</p>\n<p></p>\n\nTo remove the HTML tags you can do something like:\n... | sed 's/<[^>]*>//g'\n\nWhich will remove HTML tags that are not on continues lines:\n% jq -r '.query.pages[].extract' file | sed 's/<[^>]*>//g'\nThe tiger (Panthera tigris) is a carnivorous mammal. It is the largest living member of the cat family, the Felidae. It lives in Asia, mainly India, Bhutan, China and Siberia.\n\nfile is the file the JSON is stored in, eg:\ncurl -so - 'https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=extracts&titles=Tiger&format=json&exintro=1' > file\njq '...' file\n\nor\njq '...' <(curl -so - 'https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=extracts&titles=Tiger&format=json&exintro=1')\n\nYou can install jq with:\nsudo apt-get install jq\n\n\nFor your example input you can also use grep with -P (PCRE). But using a proper JSON parser as above is recommended\ngrep -oP '(?<=extract\":\").*?(?=(?<!\\\\)\")' file \n<p>The <b>tiger</b> (<i>Panthera tigris</i>) is a carnivorous mammal. It is the largest living member of the cat family, the Felidae. It lives in Asia, mainly India, Bhutan, China and Siberia.</p>\\n<p></p>\n\n\nA: If you're using PHP, you can do it fairly easily such as below.\nAccessing the text\nWe know that the text is stored inside the extract property, so we need to access that.\nThe easiest way to do this would be to parse the string from the API into an object format, which is done with the json_decode method in PHP. You can then access the extract property from that object, and this will give you your string. The code would be something like this:\n//Get the string from the API, however you've already done it\n$JSONString = getFromAPI();\n\n//Use the inbuilt method to create a JSON object\n$JSONObject = json_decode($JSONString);\n\n//Follow the structure to get the pages property\n$Pages = JSONObject->query->pages;\n\n//Here, we don't know what the Page ID is (because the MediaWiki API returns a different number, depending on the page)\n//Therefore we need to simply get the first key, and within it should be our desired 'extract' key\n$Extract = \"\";\nforeach($Pages as $value) {\n $Extract = $value->extract;\n break;\n}\n\n//$Extract now contains our desired text\n\nWriting it to a file\nNow we need to write the contents of $Extract to a file, as you mentioned. This can be done as follows, by utilizing the file_put_contents method.\n//Can be anything you want\n$file = 'APIResult.txt';\n\n// Write the contents to the file, \n// using the LOCK_EX flag to prevent anyone else writing to the file at the same time\nfile_put_contents($file, $Extract, LOCK_EX);\n\nAaand we're done!\nDocumentation\nThe documentation for these functions (json_decode and file_put_contents) can be found at:\n\n\n*\n\n*http://php.net/manual/en/function.json-decode.php\n\n*http://php.net/manual/en/function.file-put-contents.php\n\nA: You may find pandoc helpful, from http://pandoc.org/ - it understands a number of file formats on input including Mediawiki, and also has a bunch of file formats on output including plain text. It's more the \"Swiss army knife\" approach, and since Mediawiki is arbitrarily complicated to parse, you'll want to use something like this that's been through a big test suite. \n"
