# Wikipedia Featured Feed API

The featured article, most-read list, picture of the day and news for one day.

`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.

## 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.
