About this endpoint

GET /v1/wikipedia/feed?lang=en&date=2026-11-02 returns the day's curated feed. data.tfa is the featured article as a page summary, data.mostRead holds date and articles, and data.image is the picture of the day. data.onThisDay and data.news hold entry lists when the edition publishes them.

Each most-read article has article, views, rank and viewHistory, plus the page summary fields: title, description, extract, thumbnail, wikidataItem and contentUrls. The picture of the day has title, thumbnail, image, filePage, artist, credit, license and description. Each on-this-day or news entry has text, year and linked pages. The most-read day and each viewHistory day use the edition's own form, such as 2026-11-01Z. image.title is the feed's file title and image.filePage is the canonical file page, so the two can differ.

date is optional and defaults to yesterday in UTC. A date with no feed is not_found. An edition that serves an empty feed is found with empty: true. Use lang to choose the edition; the featured feed is not the same on every one.

Wikipedia Featured Feed API FAQ

Which date does the feed use?

date is YYYY-MM-DD and defaults to yesterday in UTC. The featured article and picture of the day are chosen per day, so a different date returns a different set.

Why is the feed empty on some editions?

Not every edition publishes a featured feed or news. An edition that answers with no content is found with empty set to true. A date with no feed at all is not_found.

Is the most-read list part of the feed?

Yes. data.mostRead.articles ranks the day's articles and includes views, rank and viewHistory. Use the pageviews top route when you only need the ranked list.

How many credits does the feed cost?

Pricing is documented on the operation in the API registry (shown on this page). Confirm on every response with meta.creditsCharged: that field is the billing source of truth.
