You can use the REST API to fetch article html by revision (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/?doc).
For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/html/Main%20Page/664887982
The output this produces is generated by parsoid (see: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsoid/MediaWiki_DOM_spec).
