TRY ASKING
1Request
stringRequired

Exact article title as on the wiki, for example `Marie_Curie` or `Marie Curie`. Case-sensitive: Wikipedia titles start with a capital letter. From a URL such as https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Curie, use the part after /wiki/.

string

Wikimedia project identifier: language code plus project code, for example `enwiki` (English Wikipedia), `frwiki`, `dewiki`, `enwiktionary` or `eswikivoyage`. Defaults to `enwiki` when neither project nor language is given. `reference/projects` lists every identifier.

string

Wikimedia language code, for example `en`, `fr` or `zh-yue`. Returns the article from any project in that language; combine with project to pin one wiki.

string[]

Return only these fields, in dot notation, for example `name`, `abstract`, `url`, `version.identifier`. Omit for the full record. Wikimedia returns exactly the fields named. Separate values with commas.

number

Most matching articles to return, 1 to 10. More than one only helps when no project is pinned and the title exists on several wikis.

string

Which article_body format to include when fields is not given: `wikitext` (default, compact), `html` (MediaWiki DOM, often 5-10x larger), `both`, or `none` for metadata and abstract only.
