Example prompt: Can you pull up the Liquipedia intro for The International — the big annual Dota 2 tournament — so I can get a quick plain-text summary of what it is?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a concise, plain-text summary of a Dota 2 tournament, team, or player from Liquipedia without needing the full wiki page content. It is ideal for quickly enriching agent context with esports background information, generating brief bios, or answering factual questions about Dota 2 esports entities. Prefer it over generic web search when you want structured, citation-ready data directly from the authoritative Dota 2 esports wiki.

## Known failure modes

- Page not found: if the page title doesn't match a valid Liquipedia Dota 2 wiki article, the response may return an empty or error result
- Ambiguous page title: using spaces vs underscores inconsistently may fail to resolve the correct page
- Non-Dota 2 pages: only the Dota 2 wiki is supported; requesting pages from other Liquipedia games will not work
- Empty intro: some stub pages may have no intro section, returning an empty string
- Rate limiting or upstream MediaWiki API downtime may cause transient failures

## How this service works

Liquipedia Dota 2 wiki: plain-text introduction of one wiki page (tournament, team or player) from Liquipedia's public MediaWiki API. Dota 2 wiki only for now; the intro is the first section, not the full page.

## Output

A JSON object containing the plain-text intro section of the requested Liquipedia Dota 2 wiki page, including the page title, numeric page ID, the game identifier ('dota2'), the intro text string, the canonical Liquipedia source URL, and a checkedAt ISO timestamp indicating when the data was fetched.
