Just search for each of the template parameters within the returned string. I am using js/nodejs. I don't really understand how I would get this data without the API. If I understand what you are saying correctly, you are recommending to just search the data for what I need. However, that is very slow and not easy to work with. I need most all of the information from the table/infobox/whatever it is, so having the names and numbers in a proper JSON format would make it much more reasonable to work with, along with far less error-prone.

If I misunderstood some of what you said (which there is a good chance I did), please let me know.
