Integration
===========

:mod:`mwparserfromhell` is used by and originally developed for EarwigBot_;
:class:`~earwigbot.wiki.page.Page` objects have a
:meth:`~earwigbot.wiki.page.Page.parse` method that essentially calls
:func:`mwparserfromhell.parse() <mwparserfromhell.__init__.parse>` on
:meth:`~earwigbot.wiki.page.Page.get`.

If you're using Pywikipedia_, your code might look like this::

    import mwparserfromhell
    import wikipedia as pywikibot

    def parse(title):
        site = pywikibot.getSite()
        page = pywikibot.Page(site, title)
        text = page.get()
        return mwparserfromhell.parse(text)

If you're not using a library, you can parse any page using the following code
(via the API_)::

    import json
    import urllib
    import mwparserfromhell
    API_URL = "http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php"

    def parse(title):
        raw = urllib.urlopen(API_URL, data).read()
        res = json.loads(raw)
        text = res["query"]["pages"].values()[0]["revisions"][0]["*"]
        return mwparserfromhell.parse(text)
