Onthisday

📆 Javascript fetcher for Wikipedia "On this day" events.

Getting Started

A script used to fetch events from wikipedia for a specific day (today by default).

Usage

yarn start [-a|--all] [-h|--html] [-l||--lang <language>]

Options:

    --lang Wikipedia language to get (`en`, `fr`, `ru` or `de` for now) 
    --all Used to get all wikipedia events
    --html When defined return the html value with links

In ./sources/aws.js in an script example to deploy it on AWS.

Here is a test API.

Possible query parameters:

• lang Language to fetch (en, fr, ru or de for now)
• day Day for date to fetch (default is today)
• month Month for date to fetch (default is today)
• html Returns html content
• all Returns all wikipedia's events

Do not flood the API, I will shut it down otherwise...
