How to retrieve Wiktionary word content?

Question

How may Wiktionary\'s API be used to determine whether or not a word exists?

Answer 1

You could use the Revisions API:

https://en.wiktionary.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&titles=test&rvslots=*&rvprop=content&formatversion=2

or the Parse API:

https://en.wiktionary.org/w/api.php?action=parse&page=test&prop=wikitext&formatversion=2

More examples are provided in the docs.
