About this endpoint

GET /v1/wikipedia/pages?titles=Albert%20Einstein|Barack%20Obama&lang=en returns data.pages, one entry per requested title. Each entry has requestedTitle, lookupStatus and page. Entries keep the order you asked for, and duplicate titles are dropped before the call.

A title can be found while the next one is not_found; the request still succeeds and the missing title has page: null. The same page fields are returned as the single-page route, including wikidataId, description, extract, image, coordinates and protection.

This route is the fastest way to hydrate a list of titles from a search or a category. For more than 20 titles, split the list into batches. A pipe separates titles; titles may contain commas.

Wikipedia Pages API FAQ

How many titles can one call take?

Between 1 and 20. Separate them with a pipe, for example titles=Albert Einstein|Barack Obama. Duplicate titles are dropped, and the order of the remaining titles is kept.

What happens when one title is missing?

The call still succeeds. That entry has lookupStatus not_found and page null, while the other entries are unaffected. Check each entry rather than the call as a whole.

How are titles with commas or special characters handled?

A pipe is the separator, so a title may contain commas. Titles may not contain a pipe, control characters, or the characters < > [ ] { }. Titles are limited to 255 bytes.

How is a batch billed?

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. The batch charges once per requested title, so the page badge shows the per-title rate.
