Turn Wikipedia into clean structured data. Search by keyword or pass exact article titles and get back summary, short description, full plain text, images, coordinates and canonical URL — in any language. No API key, no login.

Perfect for building datasets, powering RAG / LLM knowledge bases, enriching entities, or research.

What you can do with it

  • 🧠 Build a knowledge base / RAG corpus from clean article text
  • 🏷️ Enrich entities (companies, people, places) with descriptions and images
  • 🌍 Scrape the same topic across languages (en, es, fr, ar, ja …)
  • 📍 Pull coordinates for places to plot on a map

Input

{ "searchQuery": "machine learning", "maxResults": 5 }

Example — specific articles with full text

{ "pageTitles": ["Alan Turing", "Apple Inc."], "includeFullText": true }

Output

Each item is one article:

{
"title": "Apple Inc.",
"description": "American multinational technology company",
"extract": "Apple Inc. is an American multinational technology company headquartered in Cupertino, California…",
"type": "standard",
"lang": "en",
"thumbnail": "https://upload.wikimedia.org/…/320px-Apple_logo.svg.png",
"image": "https://upload.wikimedia.org/…/Apple_logo.svg.png",
"coordinates": null,
"pageId": 856,
"url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Inc.",
"timestamp": "2026-07-20T10:00:00Z"
}

With includeFullText: true each item also has a fullText field with the complete plain-text article.

Notes

  • Data comes from the official Wikipedia REST & MediaWiki APIs.
  • Set language to scrape any Wikipedia edition; titles and search are language-specific.
