How this service works
The plain-language summary of a Wikipedia article in any language edition: title, short description, lead extract, canonical URL, thumbnail and coordinates when the subject has them. Falls back to the best matching title. Query: ?title=Guadeloupe&lang=fr
Output
A JSON object containing the article title, a short description, the lead extract (plain-language intro paragraph), the canonical Wikipedia URL, a thumbnail image URL when available, and geographic coordinates when the subject is a location. Falls back to the best title match if the exact title is not found.
Example use cases
Quick country overview for travel planning
“Give me the Wikipedia summary for Japan in English — I want the lead extract, the canonical URL, and the coordinates if they're available.”
Multilingual article lookup for research
“Fetch the French Wikipedia summary for the Eiffel Tower — I need the title, short description, and the lead section text.”
Enriching a knowledge base with Wikipedia data
“Look up the Wikipedia summary for Marie Curie in English and give me her description, thumbnail URL, and the article's canonical link.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://api.x-402.online/v1/wiki/summary?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, structured Wikipedia summary for a known topic in a specific language without scraping Wikipedia directly. It is ideal for enriching entity data, providing quick reference overviews, or pulling multilingual Wikipedia content into an agent workflow. Prefer it over raw web scraping when you want clean, structured output (title, description, extract, URL, thumbnail, coordinates) with minimal overhead and no HTML parsing required.
Side effects
- Title not found in the requested language edition — falls back to best matching title which may not be exact
- Language code not supported or misspelled returns an error
- Ambiguous titles may resolve to disambiguation pages rather than the intended article
- No thumbnail or coordinates returned for subjects that don't have them on Wikipedia
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns a 402 or 429 error
