Select an excerpt from a Wikipedia article?

Question

API

It is necessary, upon request, to extract an excerpt from the first found article (usually the first paragraph), from Wikipedia. I know that this can somehow be done through the Wiki API, but I have very little idea how. After looking at the help, I made a link ( https://ru.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensear... ), but it simply displays a list of articles on request.

Answer 1

For those who need it, here is the request I made:
