Established

This tool helps researchers, linguists, and data scientists extract clean text and category data from Wikipedia's vast archives. You can specify a language and get plain text, or filter by specific articles or categories. The output is clean text or JSON, ready for analysis in fields like corpus linguistics or text mining.

191 stars.

Use this if you need to systematically collect large amounts of Wikipedia article content, stripped of complex formatting, for research or data analysis purposes.

Not ideal if you're looking for an interactive Wikipedia browser or need to extract images and complex page layouts, as it focuses on plain text and metadata.
