Use Wikipedia in Okou

Use the official English Wikipedia MediaWiki REST API for article search, page content, revisions, history, files, and language links.

Once connected, supported Wikipedia actions can become steps in a reusable workflow alongside the other services your team uses. Run the workflow once, on a schedule, or when an event starts it.

What you can do with Wikipedia

  • Search public English Wikipedia pages by full-text or title query.
  • Read public Wikipedia page source, rendered HTML, lint data, and language links.
  • Read public Wikipedia page history, revision content, comparisons, and metadata.
  • Read public Wikipedia file metadata, thumbnails, and media links.
