Wikipedia

This component lets you easily search Wikipedia and get information directly into your Nappai automation. You can specify the language and limit the number of results.

Relationship with Wikipedia API

This component connects to the Wikipedia API to retrieve information. It uses this API to search for and fetch relevant Wikipedia pages based on your search query.

Inputs

  • Query: This is where you type your search term. For example, you might type “Paris” or “Artificial Intelligence”.
  • Language: Choose the language you want the results in. You can select from Spanish (“es”), English (“en”), or French (“fr”). The default is Spanish.
  • Max Documents: This lets you specify how many Wikipedia pages you want to retrieve. The default is 1, but you can increase this if you need more information.

Outputs

The component produces a single output:

  • Data: This output contains the information retrieved from Wikipedia. This information will include the text content of the Wikipedia page(s) and some associated metadata. You can then use this information in other parts of your Nappai workflow, such as summarizing the text or extracting key information.

Usage Example

Let’s say you want to add information about the Eiffel Tower to a report you’re generating in Nappai. You would:

  1. Add the Wikipedia component to your workflow.
  2. In the “Query” input, type “Eiffel Tower”.
  3. Leave the “Language” input as the default “es” (Spanish) or change it if needed.
  4. Leave the “Max Documents” input at 1 (unless you need more than one result).
  5. Run the workflow.
  6. The “Data” output will contain the text content of the Wikipedia page about the Eiffel Tower in Spanish. You can then use other Nappai components to process this information further (e.g., summarize it, extract key facts, etc.).

Templates

This component can be used in any Nappai workflow template. Its configuration is straightforward through the input fields described above.

  • Summarizer: Use this component to shorten the Wikipedia text retrieved by the Wikipedia component.
  • Entities extraction: Extract key entities (like people, places, dates) from the Wikipedia text.
  • Google Sheet Writer: Write the Wikipedia data to a Google Sheet for further analysis or use.
  • Docx Writer: Write the Wikipedia data to a Word document.

Tips and Best Practices

  • Keep your queries concise and specific for better results.
  • Experiment with different languages to find the most relevant information.
  • If you need more than one Wikipedia page, increase the “Max Documents” value.

Security Considerations

This component uses the publicly available Wikipedia API. No sensitive information is handled by this component.
