# Wikipedia Search Suggestions API

Title autocomplete for a prefix, with page ids for the pages you pick.

`GET /v1/wikipedia/search/suggest?query=Albert&lang=en` returns `data.suggestions`, one row per matching title. Each row has `ns`, `title` and `pageId`. The suggestion is a title that starts with the fragment, not a full-text search hit, so it is the right call for an autocomplete box or for resolving a partial title.

`limit` accepts 1 to 100 and defaults to 10. `cursor` continues with `data.page.nextCursor`. A fragment with no matching titles is `found` with `empty: true`.

Use the full search route when you need snippets or matches inside article text. Use this route when you need a list of titles to offer or to hydrate with the page or batch route.

## FAQ

### Is this the same as full-text search?

No. This route matches titles by prefix and returns only ns, title and pageId. The search route matches article text and returns snippets, match ranges and totals.

### How many suggestions can I ask for?

From 1 to 100. The default is 10. A fragment with nothing matching is found with empty set to true, not an error.

### What do I do with pageId?

Pass it nowhere: the page and batch routes take titles, not ids. Use title from the suggestion in GET /v1/wikipedia/pages/{title} or in a batch titles list.

### How many credits do suggestions 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.
