Does anyone know a method of querying the Wikipedia API and having it return either plain text or formatted HTML using Coldfusion?

From what I can see it's just an HTTP GET, can you not just use the CFHTTP tag?

I'm not sure that'll return the info I want. For instance I may have info on my site about Einstein. Once a user clicks the page, I only want Wikipedia to populate my site with the text about Einstein, all populated within my design.

Sounds like one for the WIkipedia FAQ to be honest, as it's specific to their API and nothing to do with CF.
