Sorry, as far as I know it's not possible to achieve what you want via the API.
Can't you use one of the supported output formats?
If you absolutely need raw text, a Labs tool could be set up for that.

Yes something like that but without the markup, just clean text.
I can't imagine that there is no setting like this. There has to be hasn't it?

Without JSON? Do you mean action=raw, maybe?
But that contains wiki markup.

Sorry, this is not what I was looking for. I need it without the json stuff and everything. But thank you.

Hello everyone,

how can I extract just clean plain text from a Wikipedia article?
Without wiki-stuff, without html, without pictures, without json.

Just clean text.

I can't seem to find this exact solution.

Best regards

Use the TextExtracts API.
For example, this query returns the lead section of the English Wikipedia article Douglas Adams in plain text.
