Random Wikipedia Article: Summary of a Randomly Chosen Page

wikipediarest/random-summary

The summary of a randomly chosen English Wikipedia article, with the same fields as a page summary: extract as plain text and HTML, one-line description, Wikidata item id, image links, revision timestamp and links to the article and its history. Every call can return a different article, and the answer is never reused. Takes no input. Text from English Wikipedia under CC BY-SA 4.0, served by Eden Engine; not an official Wikimedia product.
