The scraper searches Wikipedia for a given term, extracts the titles and URLs of search results, and retrieves the last modification date from each page.
You can access the Wikipedia-scraper programmatically from your own Python applications by using the Apify API. You can also choose the language preference from below. To use the Apify API, you’ll need an Apify account and your API token, found in Integrations settings in Apify Console.
