How this service works
The best matching Wikipedia articles for a query, with descriptions and excerpts, as clean JSON. Content is CC BY-SA 4.0.
Output
A JSON array of the best-matching Wikipedia articles for the query, each containing the article title, a short description, a text excerpt, and a link. Results are clean, structured, and licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0. The number of results is controlled by the limit parameter (1–20, default 5).
Example use cases
Factual background for research report
“Search Wikipedia for 'quantum computing' and return the top 5 matching articles with their descriptions and excerpts so I can use them as background for my report.”
Entity disambiguation in data pipeline
“I need to know what Wikipedia says about 'Mercury' — can you search for it and give me the top results with descriptions so I can figure out whether users mean the planet, the element, or the car brand?”
Multilingual encyclopedia lookup
“Search the French Wikipedia for 'intelligence artificielle' and give me up to 5 results with their descriptions and excerpts.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.cra-agent.tech/v1/paid/wiki/search?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need structured Wikipedia search results (titles, descriptions, excerpts) in clean JSON format with predictable pricing at $0.001 per call, especially in agentic workflows that need factual background or entity lookups without scraping Wikimedia directly. Prefer over raw Wikimedia API when you need clean, ready-for-LLM output and want a simple, metered REST interface.
Side effects
- Missing required query parameter 'q' returns a 400 error
- Invalid language code returns no results or an error
- Limit outside the 1–20 range may be rejected or clamped
- Obscure queries may return zero matching articles
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient
