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

Use the TextExtracts API https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TextExtracts#API. For example, this query https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=Douglas+Adams&prop=extracts&explaintext=1&exintro=1 returns the lead section of the English Wikipedia article Douglas Adams https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Adams in plain text.
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?

Well I could do a workaround for json but it's not the best solution after all, you know. I thank you really deeply for your attention and help. If you've got another idea just let me know.

Without JSON? Do you mean action=raw https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Douglas+Adams&action=raw, maybe? But that contains wiki markup.

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 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Data_formats#Output? If you absolutely need raw text, a Labs tool could be set up for that.
