i trying put each of items infobox struct or map:

m["name"] = "albert einstein" m["image"] = "einstein...." ... ... m["death_date"] = "{{death date , age|df=yes|1955|4|18|1879|3|14}}" ... ... 

i can't seem isolate infobox. get:

[[{{infobox scientist         | name       = albert einstein         | image       = einstein 1921 f schmutzer - restoration.jpg         | caption     = albert einstein in 1921         | birth_date  = {{birth date|df=yes|1879|3|14}}]] 

the albert einstein entry in api can found at:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=albert%20einstein&prop=revisions&rvprop=content&format=json 

edit:

based on accepted answer to question tried following regex:

(?=\{infobox)(\{([^{}]|(?1))*\}) 

but get:

panic: regexp: compile(`(?=\{infobox)(\{([^{}]|(?1))*\})`): error parsing regexp: invalid or unsupported perl syntax: `(?=` 

edit #2: if there's way extract information via api i'll take that....i've been reading through docs , can't find it.

i made regex might work you:

^\s*\|\s*([^\s]+)\s*=\s*(\{\{plainlist\|(?:\n\s*\*.*)*|.*)

explanation

• this part: ^\s*\|\s*([^\s]+)\s*=\s* matches start of lines like:

      | <the_label> =  

• continuing on same line, part: (\{\{plainlist\|(?:\n\s*\*.*)*|.*) match lists:

                       {{plainlist| * [[ernst g. straus]] * [[nathan rosen]] * [[leó szilárd]] 

(note may omit final }}. oh well.)

• if there no list, matches until end of line.
