NAME
wiki-brief — looks up a topic on wikipedia and digests it in one call: canonical article, bullet brief, and named entities
SYNOPSIS
POST https://x402.agentutility.ai/wiki-brief
Content-Type: application/json
X-PAYMENT: <signed-transferWithAuthorization>
{ ... }↳ first call →
402 Payment Required. Sign USDCtransferWithAuthorization, retry with theX-PAYMENT header.DESCRIPTION
Looks up a topic on Wikipedia and digests it in one call: canonical article, bullet brief, and named entities. Returns the article's title, URL, Wikidata Q-id, and intro, a bullet brief distilled from the article body, and the named entities (people, organizations, locations, dates) it mentions. One paid call replaces the lookup-then-digest agent loop: ideal for topic primers, RAG context assembly, research agents, quiz/content generation. Composite: one call runs wikipedia-lookup first, then summarize-text + extract-entities in parallel over the article text. Use it as an encyclopedia lookup + summary + entities bundle, RAG context builder, or topic primer API.
