Wikipedia

The robomotion wikipedia CLI connects to Wikipedia for article search and content retrieval. It searches for articles, retrieves full page content or summaries, and accesses structured Wikipedia data.

When to use

• Search Wikipedia for articles by keyword
• Retrieve full article content or summaries
• Get page metadata and structured data

Prerequisites

• robomotion CLI installed
• Package installed: robomotion install wikipedia
• No external credentials needed — Wikipedia API is public

IMPORTANT: Session Mode Required for Multi-Step Operations

Each CLI command runs as a separate process — connection IDs from connect do NOT persist across calls. You MUST use --session on connect and pass --session-id to all subsequent commands.

Workflow

1. Install (once): robomotion install wikipedia
2. Connect with session:

   robomotion wikipedia wikipedia_connect --session --output json
   # → {"outClientId":"<client-id>","session_id":"<session-id>"}
   

3. Use the returned client-id and session-id in all subsequent commands:

   robomotion wikipedia wikipedia_search --client-id "<client-id>" --query <text> --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
   

4. Disconnect when done:

   robomotion wikipedia wikipedia_disconnect --client-id "<client-id>" --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
   

Always append --output json to get structured JSON results.
