What it does
The Wikimedia APIs give access to Wikipedia in all languages. Get a page summary with its lead image (as used for link previews), the full page in HTML, search results, related pages and 'on this day' events, and page view statistics. Responses are JSON. Free, no key needed; send a User-Agent that identifies your app. The content is licensed under Creative Commons BY-SA.
