Here is the python code for API search of articles containing a particular keyword. In the following example, the keyword is 'Pregnancy'. The results of the search will be populated into a csv file. Please note that API search has a 10,000 record limit.

import requests import csv S = requests.Session SEARCHLIST = []; URL = "https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php" SEARCHWORD = "Pregnancy" f = open('title_fgm.csv', 'w') writer = csv.writer(f) for iPage in range(20): PARAMS = { "action": "query", "format": "json", "list": "search", "srsearch": SEARCHWORD, "srlimit": 500, "sroffset": iPage*500 }   R = S.get(url=URL, params=PARAMS) DATA = R.json for i in range(len(DATA['query']['search'])): row = DATA['query']['search'][i]['title'] #print (row) # write a row to the csv file writer.writerow([str(row)]) # print("iPage = ",iPage) totalhits = DATA['query']['searchinfo']['totalhits'] if (iPage+1)*500 > totalhits: break; f.close
 * 1) open the file in the write mode
 * 1) create the csv writer
