In this video I'll show you how to build a fun little Wikipedia Search Tool For Tkinter and Python.

We can enter in a topic and search for the wikipedia page, and return the content, as well as the title and URL. Or we can search for a general summary of a topic, and designate how many sentences we want to return.

This is not a heavy duty API, so you'll hit rate limits if you make too many searches...but for general use or hobby use, you shouldn't have any trouble at all.
