*sigh* Wiki’s already have the equivalent of “GetPage” – it’s called HTTP GET on the page’s URI.

“If you plan on using V4 on or after October 1, you have two options”. More Google evolution problems. Why are they burdening their many users with implementation details?
GET on the URI gives you all the other stuff around the page- theming, headers, footers, etc. This gives you data (including metadata, which may or may not be possible to parse out of the page) without all the cruft. Seems like that is quite different from GET on the URI, no?

The Wiki may still be closed, but you can sign up for the beta. I think you’ll like what you see.
