I note the pageid you're specifying is a redirect page. If we use the target of the redirect instead, it seems to work fine:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=extracts&exchar... https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=extracts&exchars=175&pageids=248492
You can even ask the API to bypass the redirect for you:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=extracts&exchar... https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=extracts&exchars=175&pageids=263652&redirects=1
