sql - Best method to scrape large number of Wikipedia tables to MySQL database -


what best programmatic way grab html tables of wikipedia main article pages pages' titles match keywords? take column names , table data , put them database.

would grab url , page name attribution.

i don't need specifics recommended methods or links tutorials perhaps.

the easy approach not scrape wikipedia website @ all. of data, metadata, , associated media form wikipedia available in structured formats; preclude need scrape web pages.

to data wikipedia database (which may search, slice , dice 'til heart's content):

  1. download data files.
  2. run sqlize tool of choice
  3. run mysqlimport
  4. drink coffee.

the url of original article should able re-constructed page title pretty easily.
