How this service works
Encyclopedia summary of a topic: title, one-line description, the lead paragraph as plain text, thumbnail and article link, in any language edition.
Output
A JSON object containing the article's title, a one-line description (e.g. 'Binary-to-text encoding scheme'), the lead paragraph as plain text (extract), a thumbnail image URL if available, and the full Wikipedia article URL — all for the requested language edition.
Example use cases
Quick concept explanation for a chatbot
“Look up the Wikipedia summary for 'Machine learning' so I can include a plain-English explanation of what it is in my response.”
Multilingual encyclopedia lookup
“Fetch the Wikipedia summary for 'Tour Eiffel' in French — I need the title, description, and the introductory paragraph.”
Auto-enriching a knowledge graph
“Get the Wikipedia summary for 'CRISPR' — I need the one-line description and lead extract to annotate this entry in my database.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://manylives.me/paid/wiki/summary?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a concise, structured encyclopedia summary of any topic without scraping Wikipedia directly. Ideal for quick fact-lookup, knowledge enrichment, chatbot grounding, or populating structured data with human-readable descriptions. Prefer it over full web search when you specifically want the authoritative Wikipedia lead section in a specific language.
Side effects
- Article not found for the given title returns a 404 or empty result
- Ambiguous or misspelled title may return an unrelated article
- Requested language edition may not have an article for the topic
- Title with special characters may need URL encoding
- Very new or obscure topics may lack a Wikipedia entry
