Wikipedia API

This component lets you search Wikipedia and get information directly into your Nappai automation workflows. It’s like having a built-in Wikipedia search engine within your automation system. You can use it to find facts, summaries, and other information to use in your automated tasks.

Relationship with Wikipedia API

This component connects to Wikipedia’s public API. This allows Nappai to retrieve information from Wikipedia without needing you to manually search and copy-paste.

Inputs

  • Input: This is where you type your search query (what you want to look up on Wikipedia).
  • Language: Choose the language you want the results in (e.g., “en” for English, “es” for Spanish). The default is English.
  • Number of results: Specify how many Wikipedia articles you want to retrieve (the default is 4).
  • Load all available meta: (Advanced) This option lets you retrieve more detailed information about each Wikipedia article. Leave this unchecked unless you need this extra data.
  • Document content characters max: (Advanced) This sets a limit on the length of the text retrieved from each Wikipedia article (default is 4000 characters). Leave this at the default unless you have a specific need to adjust it.

Outputs

The component produces a list of information from Wikipedia. Each item in the list contains the details of a Wikipedia article that matches your search. This information can then be used by other components in your Nappai workflow, such as those that summarize text or extract key information.

Usage Example

Let’s say you want to find information about “Paris” in French and get only the top 2 results. You would:

  1. Enter “Paris” in the Input field.
  2. Enter “fr” in the Language field.
  3. Enter “2” in the Number of results field.
  4. Run the component.

The output will be a list containing information from the top two French Wikipedia articles about Paris. You can then use this information in other parts of your Nappai automation.

Templates

[List of templates where the component can be seen and its configuration - This section requires information not provided in the prompt.]

  • OpenAI Function Agent: This component can use the Wikipedia information retrieved to generate text or answer questions.
  • ReAct Agent LLM: This component can use the Wikipedia information in a more interactive way, asking clarifying questions if needed.
  • Other Components: Many other Nappai components can process the output of the Wikipedia API component, such as those for summarization, data extraction, and more. (A full list is provided in the prompt but requires individual descriptions for this section).

Tips and Best Practices

  • Use specific keywords for better search results.
  • Experiment with different numbers of results to find the optimal amount of information for your needs.
  • For advanced users, explore the “Load all available meta” and “Document content characters max” options to customize the data retrieved.

Security Considerations

This component uses a public API. Ensure that your search queries do not contain sensitive information. The information retrieved from Wikipedia is publicly available.
