I am using the Wikipedia API for python to get page links as follows:
import wikipedia
ny = wikipedia.page(wikipedia.search("Barack Obama")[0])
print ny.links
This ny.links provides all the links (inlinks and outlinks together), but I need them separately. Could anyone please help me finding some means to achieve this using the same API or some other APIs?
You can use wikipedia-api to get information about inlinks with property backlinks and outlinks with property links.
Code rewritten with Wikipedia-API would look like this:
import wikipediaapi
wiki = wikipediaapi.Wikipedia('en')
obama = wiki.page("Barack Obama")
# does it exists?
repr(obama.exists())
# show basic info
repr(obama)
# > 'Barack Obama (id: 534366, ns: 0)'
# inlinks
repr(obama.backlinks)
len(obama.backlinks)
# > 28323
# outlinks
repr(obama.links)
len(obama.links)
# > 2138
