Access Wikipedia and Wikimedia APIs (REST, Action API, SPARQL) with correct User-Agent headers, rate limiting, and 429/403 error handling.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
All requests to Wikimedia APIs **must** include a descriptive `User-Agent` header or they will be blocked (HTTP 403 or 429). This is enforced by the [Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy](https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Policy:Wikimedia_Foundation_User-Agent_Policy). > **💡 Pi users:** If you use the [pi coding agent](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi), install the companion extension from this repo to **automatically inject the User-Agent header** on every `curl`, `wget`, `python`, and `node` command that targets a Wikimedia server — no manual intervention needed. See the [README](../../../README.md#pi-agent-setup) for setup instructions. > 💡 **Not sure which tool to use?** See **[wikimedia-api-strategy](../wikimedia-api-strategy/SKILL.md)** for a decision framework comparing REST API, Action API, SPARQL, SQL replicas, EventStreams, and Pywikibot — with latency/complexity/authentication trade-offs and common anti-patterns. ## **User-Agent Format** The generic format is: ``` <client name>/<version> (<contact information>) <project identifier>/<version> ``` …

How to install
mdr add fuzheado/wikipedia-ai-skills/wikimedia-api-access@sha256:8dce61e0fefb9d70The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261009.dd43296, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
