How this service works
Full-text search across Wikipedia. Returns matching pages with title, description and a match excerpt.
Output
Returns a list of matching Wikipedia pages, each containing the page title, a short description, and a text excerpt showing where the search term was matched within the article content.
Example use cases
Quick fact-checking on a topic
“Search Wikipedia for 'French Revolution' and show me the top matching articles with their descriptions so I can verify some historical facts.”
Research background on a person
“Look up 'Marie Curie' on Wikipedia and give me the top results with titles and summaries — I want to get a quick overview of who she was.”
Exploring a technical concept

Endpoint
GEThttps://gateway.apiosk.com/wikipedia/w/rest.php/v1/search/pageWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to search across the breadth of Wikipedia's encyclopedia content and want back structured results (title, description, excerpt) rather than raw HTML. Prefer it over general web search when you specifically want encyclopedic, crowd-verified reference content. It is ideal for fact-checking, background research on well-known topics, and enriching agent knowledge with authoritative summaries.
Side effects
- No matching articles found for obscure or misspelled query terms
- Rate limiting or payment failure on the x402 gateway resulting in HTTP 402
- Empty results for highly ambiguous queries with no strong Wikipedia match
- Network timeout if Wikipedia's REST API is temporarily unavailable
- Query too short or too generic returning low-relevance results
