API
You can use this site as a service. You only need to request a specific URL to retrived the data. For example requesting a URL like this:
http://wikify.appointment.at/index.php?ajax=1&word=science
would give you the Wikipedia link as plaintext:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science
By adding parameter
http://wikify.appointment.at/index.php?ajax=1&word=science&format=json
the result would look like this:
{"science":"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Science"}
By adding parameter
http://wikify.appointment.at/index.php?ajax=1&word=science&format=xml
the result would look like this:
<wikify>
<word>science</word>
<link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science</link>
</wikify>
