For Agents
Programmatically check and normalize a tex formula., get a previously-stored formula. Covers 3 operations with apiKey authentication.
Use for: I need to check and normalize a tex formula., I want to a previously-stored formula, Search for rendered formula in the given format., List all records from Wikimedia REST API
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or developer tools - use for crm only.
This API provides cacheable and straightforward access to Wikimedia content and data, in machine-readable formats. Global Rules - Limit your clients to no more than 200 requests/s to this API. Each API endpoint's documentation may detail more specific usage limits. - Set a unique `User-Agent` or `Api-User-Agent` header that allows us to contact you quickly. Email addresses or URLs of contact pages. The API exposes 3 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.
Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the Wikimedia REST API to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Wikimedia REST API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.
Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fwikimedia.org%2Fwikimedia" | sh2
Step 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fwikimedia.org%2Fwikimedia" | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.
Capabilities
What an agent can do with Wikimedia REST API.
Check and normalize a TeX formula.
Get a previously-stored formula
Integrate Wikimedia REST API into automated workflows
Query and filter Wikimedia REST API records by parameters
Monitor Wikimedia REST API operational status and events
Use Cases
Patterns agents use Wikimedia REST API for, with concrete tasks.
★ CRM Operations
Use the Wikimedia REST API to perform crm operations programmatically. The API provides 3 endpoints covering core functionality including check and normalize a tex formula., get a previously-stored formula, get rendered formula in the given format..
Call POST /media/math/check/{type} to check and normalize a tex formula.
Automated Math Management
Automate math operations by combining multiple Wikimedia REST API endpoints. Agents can get a previously-stored formula and then get rendered formula in the given format. in a single workflow.
Call GET /media/math/formula/{hash} to get a previously-stored formula, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Wikimedia REST API endpoints through Jentic without managing credentials directly. An agent searches for the required operation by intent, receives the matching endpoint schema, and executes the call with Jentic-managed authentication. This eliminates the need to read API documentation or handle apiKey tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'check and normalize a tex formula.', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Why Jentic?
What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the Wikimedia REST API by hand means handling its permission cookie header, targeting wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1, and passing type, hash, and format parameters yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Wikimedia REST API from the API Directory, store the credential once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
Wikimedia puts the format and hash in the URL path (/media/math/render/{format}/{hash}), so a rule can pin your agent to rendering or fetching a given formula. You choose the operations it may call, so anything beyond the math check, formula, and render set is not included unless you add it.
Credential isolation
Your Wikimedia credential is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'check a TeX formula' or 'render a math formula', and Jentic returns the matching Wikimedia operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs
Specific to using Wikimedia REST API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Wikimedia REST API use?
The Wikimedia REST API uses an API key passed in the `cookie` header. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in your Jentic One instance and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Can I check and normalize a tex formula. with the Wikimedia REST API?
Yes. Use the POST /media/math/check/{type} endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Wikimedia REST API?
Rate limits are not specified in the OpenAPI spec. Check the vendor documentation for current limits. Through Jentic, rate limiting is handled automatically with retry logic built into the execution layer.
How do I check and normalize a tex formula. through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'check and normalize a tex formula.'. Jentic returns the matching Wikimedia REST API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Wikimedia REST API have?
The Wikimedia REST API exposes 3 endpoints covering math operations.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Wikimedia REST API?
Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which of the Wikimedia REST API operations your agent may call, so you can grant only the math check (POST /media/math/check/{type}), formula fetch (GET /media/math/formula/{hash}), and render (GET /media/math/render/{format}/{hash}) operations you actually need. Since the format and hash are carried in the URL path, a rule can pin your agent to rendering or fetching a specific formula rather than the full set. Anything outside the operations you approve is not available to the agent unless you add it, and the credential is injected at execution time so it never enters the agent's context.
