## Wikipedia API
179+
180+
**Description:** The Wikipedia API allows users to query statistics of pages,
181+
categories, revisions from a public API endpoint. We have included two urls in the project: The WIKIPEDIA_BASE_URL AND WIKIPEDIA_MATRIX_URL. The WIKIPEDIA_BASE_URL provides access to articles, categories, and metadata from the English version of Wikipedia.
182+
It runs on the MediaWiki Action API, but this instance only provides English Wikipedia data.
183+
Then the WIKIPEDIA_MATRIX_URL provides access to information of all wikimedia projects including the different language edition of wikipedia. It runs on the Meta-Wiki API.
