wiki exposes the nearby search of articles: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Nearby
I now you can use prop=coordinates to expose the coordinates of one article.

Is there any api to expose the nearby service for fetching articles close to one's coordinate? How to do the nearby above?
Special:Nearby is a feature of the MobileFrontend extension. You should file an "enhancement" bug in bugzilla against that extension asking for API access to the data.
If you already have an account on Wikimedia's bugzilla and are signed in, this link will take you to the right place to file the request: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=MediaWiki%20extensions&...
