Search Wikipedia and return article summaries or full text. Supports 300+ languages (any Wikipedia subdomain).
Two modes:
- summary - top hits with description + introduction extract (fast, ~300-500 words per article).
- fulltext - full plain-text article extract (slower, all sections).
Useful for knowledge extraction, research, content generation, entity enrichment, dataset bootstrapping.
Free vs. paid
- Free plan: 5 clearly-labelled mock articles.
- Paid plan: real, live Wikipedia data.

Pricing
$0.002/article. Cheap because Wikipedia's API is fast and the actor author pays no proxy cost.
Limitations
- The actor obeys a polite ~250ms delay between requests.
fulltextmode is significantly slower for long articles and bills the same per article.
