You can go to special:statistics and download a database dump (you want "Current pages", and you'll have to use a program such as 7-zip to extract it from .gz to .xml), and then use the flag -xml:name of downloaded file.

The lack of a search API is a serious problem, I've asked Wikia by Special:Contact to add it back, their reply was this:


 * Thanks for giving a clear, well-thought explanation of your search API feedback. I have passed it along to our product team.


 * In the short term, we don't have any plans to re-enable the feature as we focus on improving some other more widely used tools. However, your use cases do show that there is definite need to work on some of the problems that you and other users rely on API to fix. We are going to be making adjustments to the preferences for search results, and we will keep the number of results in mind as an option.


 * As to the value of the API to bot management, I am sharing your concerns with the search team but for now we don't have any plans to turn it back on.


 * Best,

Which roughly translated means that they won't be turning it back on unless there's more call for it. Letting Wikia know that this is a feature you want would be helpful. Sorry I can't be more help.
