PHP Wikipedia Search
====================

[](#php-wikipedia-search)

Search Wikipedia editions through the current MediaWiki Action API and receive normalized, serializable result objects.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require jord-jd/php-wikipedia-search
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use JordJD\WikipediaSearch\Enums\Languages;
use JordJD\WikipediaSearch\WikipediaSearcher;

$searcher = new WikipediaSearcher(Languages::ENGLISH);
$results = $searcher->search('PHP programming language', [
    'limit' => 25,
    'namespaces' => [0],
    'what' => 'text',
]);

foreach ($results as $result) {
    echo $result->getTitle();
    echo $result->getDescription();
    echo $result->getUrl();
    echo $result->getPageId();
    echo $result->getWordCount();
    echo $result->getTimestamp();
    echo json_encode($result);
}
```

The enum contains common Wikipedia language editions, but any valid Wikipedia language subdomain such as `simple` or `zh-min-nan` can be supplied.

Supported options follow MediaWiki's official [`list=search` documentation](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Search): `limit` (1 to 500), `offset`, `namespaces`, and `what` (`text`, `title`, or `nearmatch`). Invalid values fail before an HTTP request is made.

Use `getContinueOffset()` as the next request's `offset`. The searcher also exposes `getTotalHits()`, `getSuggestion()`, and `getRewrittenQuery()` from the API response.

Custom HTTP transport
---------------------

[](#custom-http-transport)

The optional second constructor argument is a callable receiving the URL, headers, and timeout. It must return the response body as a string:

```
$searcher = new WikipediaSearcher(
    Languages::ENGLISH,
    function (string $url, array $headers, int $timeout): string {
        return $yourHttpClient->get($url, $headers, $timeout);
    },
    10,
    'your-application/1.0 (https://example.com/contact)'
);
```

The package supports PHP 7.1 through current PHP 8.x releases.
