Wikipedia Scraper 📖

Search Wikipedia and extract clean article data — summary, full plain-text content, description, categories, thumbnail, coordinates, and Wikidata ID — in any language, via the official MediaWiki API.

Great for research, knowledge bases, RAG/AI training data, content enrichment, and entity lookups.

What it does

  • Search by keyword → matching articles (with full detail or just snippets).
  • Page detail by exact title → summary + full extract + categories + Wikidata ID.
  • Any language (en, pt, es, de, …).

Input

{
"searchQueries": ["machine learning"],
"pageTitles": ["Albert Einstein"],
"language": "en",
"includeContent": true,
"maxResultsPerQuery": 50
}

Output (one row per article)

{
"type": "page",
"title": "Machine learning",
"pageid": 233488,
"description": "Study of algorithms that improve automatically through experience",
"extract_summary": "Machine learning (ML) is a field of study...",
"extract_full": "Machine learning (ML) is a field... (full plain text)",
"categories": ["Machine learning", "Cybernetics"],
"wikidata_id": "Q2539",
"thumbnail": "https://upload.wikimedia.org/...",
"url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_learning"
}

Notes

  • Uses Wikipedia's official, free MediaWiki + REST APIs — stable and reliable.
  • No key, no proxy.
