MediaWiki API connection with Mendix

0
Hi all,   I want to pull data from https://www.swimrankings.net/ but I am a beginner and I am not sure how to do this. I found this help page: https://wiki.swimrankings.net/api.php?action=help&recursivesubmodules=1 but I am too much of a beginner to figure out if this is even compatible with Mendix.   I was looking at the Mendix tutorial: Mendix Academy - Importing and Exporting Your Data specifically at the REST services chapters, but, to me, it doesn't seem to be compatible with the swimrankings website/API.    Can someone tell me if it's even possible to link the swimrankings API with a Mendix app, if so; is there any tutorial or explanation of how I can integrate these?   Kind regards,   Jeroen

Yes, I think you can. You can format as JSON which will fit Mendix REST actions very well: https://wiki.swimrankings.net/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=namespaces&format=json

I would especially recommend following these steps to get familiar with this capability: https://academy.mendix.com/link/modules/138/lectures/1226/5.1-Consume-a-REST-Service
