/api/wikipedia/summaryPAYMENT-SIGNATURE.The summary API is a pay-per-call wikipedia endpoint built for AI agents and autonomous software. Fetch a Wikipedia article summary in any of 30 supported languages.
There is no signup and no API key. An agent (or any HTTP client) hits the endpoint, receives an x402 "402 Payment Required" challenge, signs a sub-cent USDC payment on Base or Solana, and retries — the data comes back on the paid request. That makes it a drop-in summary data source for an agent tool-use loop, an MCP host, or a backend that needs wikipedia data on demand without onboarding to yet another vendor portal.
