# 📚 Meet `denason/wikipedia` – A Laravel package to talk to Wikipedia like a pro
Hey devs! 👋
Ever wanted to pull some info from Wikipedia into your Laravel app without fighting their raw API?
Let me introduce you to [`denason/wikipedia`](https://github.com/denason/wikipedia) – a clean, expressive, and flexible package that makes working with Wikipedia super smooth 🚀
---
## 🔧 What does it do?
This package gives you an elegant Laravel-style wrapper around the Wikipedia REST API.
You can easily grab:
- ✅ Article summaries
- ✅ Full HTML content
- ✅ Raw wikitext
- ✅ Article images
- ✅ Infobox-style data
- ✅ Categories
- ✅ Multilingual support
- ✅ Search results
And it’s just a couple lines of code away.

## ⚡️ Quick Installation
bash
composer require denason/wikipedia
---
## 🧪 Code Examples
### Get a summary:
php
Wikipedia::summary('Laravel');
### Grab the main image:
php
Wikipedia::image('Albert Einstein');
### Full HTML version of a page:
php
Wikipedia::html('Iran');
### Search Wikipedia:
php
Wikipedia::search('PHP frameworks');
### Use another language:
php
Wikipedia::lang('fa')->summary('تهران');
---
## 😎 Why use it?
- No need to mess with URLs or HTTP clients
- Simple, expressive API using Laravel facades
- Fully extendable
- Great for bots, dashboards, content tools, and more
---
## 💭 What’s next?
This is just part one of a bigger idea.
I’m also working on:
- 📦 A Laravel wrapper for **Wikidata** (with SPARQL)
- 🤖 An AI-enhanced package to **analyze, summarize, and graph** Wikipedia/Wikidata content
So if this sounds cool:
👉 Drop a ⭐️ on the [GitHub repo](https://github.com/denason/wikipedia)
👉 Try it out in your next project
👉 And stay tuned for what’s coming next!
