# ExWikipedia

`ExWikipedia` is an Elixir client for the [Wikipedia API](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php). Other languages are supported as they are passed in through options. See usage section for example.

## Defaults

This currently uses `HTTPoison` as its default HTTP client.

If you wish to use a different HTTP client to drive the requests, e.g. `Tesla`, you can specify it as the `:http_client` option along with any needed customizations for the `:status_key` or `:body_key`.  E.g.

```elixir
 iex> ExWikipedia.page(54173, [http_client: Tesla, status_key: :status])
{:ok,
 %ExWikipedia.Page{
   categories: ["Webarchive template wayback links",
   # ... etc...
 }
}
```

`Jason` is the default JSON encoder (customize this via the `:decoder` option).
`Floki` is the default HTML parser used by the page parser. See `ExWikipedia.PageParser` for its use.
`"en"` is the default language for the wikipedia look up. The default language can be changed inside of 
`config.exs`. The `language` option is also available for setting language on a function call basis.
`language: "en"`
`page_id` is the default way the Wikipedia API will look up by.


See `ExWikipedia.Page.fetch/2` for full implementation details.
