Wikipedia Loader
Wikipedia Loader searches Wikipedia for the topic you give it and returns the text of the articles found. It is useful for giving an agent or a model general, well-sourced background on a topic, a well-known company, a place or a concept.
When to use it
- Prepare a background sheet on a city or country before a business trip.
- Give an agent the basics of a technical concept so it can explain it in plain words.
- Enrich a report with general information about a well-known company or industry.
- Create training materials from reference articles.
Configuration
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Query | The topic you want to search for, for example “Solar photovoltaic energy”. |
| Language | Which Wikipedia edition is searched: es (Spanish), en (English) or fr (French). Default: es. |
| Max Documents | The maximum number of articles returned. Default: 1. |
Output
The Data output returns one item per article, with its text and details such as the title, a summary and the article’s address.
Connect it to an agent or a model to summarize or explain the content, or to Parse Data to turn it into text.
Example
A consulting firm prepares reports for clients opening an office in another city:
- Add Wikipedia Loader, enter the city name in Query and leave Max Documents at 1.
- Connect Data to an agent with the instruction “Summarize the economy, population and transport links of this city”.
- Include the summary in the report the client receives.
Good practices
- Write the topic as it would appear in an article title: that way the first result is usually the right one.
- Raise Max Documents only if you want several related articles; more articles mean more text for the rest of the flow.
