Quarry does not have access to revision text. There are XML dumps which may have the information, and generally using the Action API to fetch revision text is a reasonable thing to do as well.
Hello, I'd like to do some analysis for all recent revision that contain a certain keyword/validate a regex. I have been able to fetch the recent revision up to 30 days with the action API, but this requires a lots of resource I guess, as I have to call the API for every revision. Is there a way to access this trough quarry or trough a dump of the revisions ?
Thanks a lot
Quarry does not have access to revision text as this part of the production database is not included in the wikitech:Wiki Replicas service. There are XML dumps which may have the information you are interested in. See meta:Data dumps for more information about that service. Generally using the Action API to fetch revision text is a reasonable thing to do as well. API:Etiquette has some advice on how to make your Action API requests more friendly to the servers by doing things like setting a custom user-agent that gives contact information and using the maxlag parameter to avoid piling on when the database is under greater than normal replication pressure.
