How this service works
Concise summary of a Wikipedia article: title, description, plain-text extract and thumbnail. Append the page title to the path, e.g. /api/rest_v1/page/summary/Bitcoin.
Output
A JSON object containing the Wikipedia article's canonical title, a short human-readable description, a multi-sentence plain-text extract of the article's introduction, a thumbnail image URL with dimensions, and a link to the full Wikipedia page.
Example use cases
Quick biography lookup for person
“Hey, can you grab the Wikipedia summary for Marie Curie? I need her short description, a plain-text extract about her life, and the thumbnail image if there is one.”
Historical event overview for research
“I'm putting together a report — can you pull the Wikipedia summary for the Moon Landing so I have a quick plain-text overview and description to reference?”
Tech concept explainer for presentation
“Can you fetch the Wikipedia summary for Artificial Intelligence? I need the title, a short human-readable description, and the first few sentences from the article to use as an intro slide.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://gateway.apiosk.com/wikipedia/api/rest_v1/page/summary/BitcoinWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a quick, structured overview of any well-known topic, person, place, or concept sourced from Wikipedia — especially when you need both a human-readable description and a plain-text extract in a single call. Prefer this over full web scraping when a concise Wikipedia-sourced summary is sufficient.
Side effects
- Page not found (404) if the title doesn't match any Wikipedia article
- Disambiguation pages returned if the title is ambiguous
- Empty or missing thumbnail if the article has no image
- Capitalization or spacing issues in the page title causing lookup failure
- Rate limiting or payment failure (402) if credits are exhausted
