Infoboxer is library targeting use of Wikipedia (or any other MediaWiki-based wiki) as a rich powerful data source.

It gets for you wiki pages, parses them and exposes data in easy navigable and queriable way. Like this:

Infoboxer.wikipedia.
  get('Breaking Bad (season 1)').
  sections('Episodes').templates(name: 'Episode table').
  fetch('episodes').templates(name: /^Episode list/).
  fetch_hashes('EpisodeNumber', 'EpisodeNumber2', 'Title', 'ShortSummary')
# => [{"EpisodeNumber"=>#<Var(EpisodeNumber): 1>, "EpisodeNumber2"=>#<Var(EpisodeNumber2): 1>, "Title"=>#<Var(Title): Pilot>, "ShortSummary"=>#<Var(ShortSummary): Walter White, a 50-year old che...>},
#     {"EpisodeNumber"=>#<Var(EpisodeNumber): 2>, "EpisodeNumber2"=>#<Var(EpisodeNumber2): 2>, "Title"=>#<Var(Title): Cat's in the Bag...>, "ShortSummary"=>#<Var(ShortSummary): Walt and Jesse try to dispose o...>},
#     ...and so on
