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.
• fulltext mode is significantly slower for long articles and bills the same per article.
