[Developers] How to I get the text for an article?

[David Janes]

Thank you.

I've written some Python code that you may consider adding to
metaweb.py that will add results from the trans service into the data
structure returned from the mqlread service.

I.e. after one calls

  result = metaweb.read(query, credentials)

you can call

  transfill.transfill(result, blurb = True)

to get the blurb (raw and image_thumb work also) placed in the result.

The source code is here:

Regards, etc...
David
