Implementation Reference

  • Core implementation of wikiSearch function that queries Wikipedia's REST API for title search results.
    export async function wikiSearch(q: string, lang = 'vi', top = 5) {
      const url = `https://${lang}.wikipedia.org/w/rest.php/v1/search/title?q=${encodeURIComponent(q)}&limit=${top}`;
      const res = await fetchWithLimits(url, 8000, 1024*1024);
      if (!res.body) return [];
      const data = JSON.parse(res.body.toString('utf-8'));
      return (data.pages || []).map((p: any) => ({
        title: p.title,
        url: `https://${lang}.wikipedia.org/wiki/${encodeURIComponent(p.key)}`,
        snippet: p.description || '',
        source: 'wikipedia'
      }));
    }

        const res = await wikiSearch(q, lang || 'vi');
        return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(res) }] };
      }
    );
