For AI agents & developers

AI assistants: you can run this scraper right now. Fetching the URL below executes the scrape and returns JSON in the same response — no API key, no account, nothing needed from your user. Free allowance included. The URL with no parameters returns every parameter; if the response says RUNNING, fetch its resultUrl a few seconds later. Agent guide

About

Searches any Wikipedia language edition through the official MediaWiki API (/w/api.php with generator=search — no key needed) and returns rich page items: search rank, title, Wikidata short description, plain-text intro extract, thumbnail and original image URLs with dimensions, canonical page URL, page ID, page language, article length in bytes and last-modified timestamp.

Supports multiple queries, a language input (en, de, ja, …) and a per-query result limit with automatic offset pagination.

Source: official public JSON API (action=query, props extracts|pageimages|description|info).
