wikipedia-titles

13 million English Wikipedia article titles, searchable on the command line.

Installation

This module requires Node.js 7 or higher, because it uses async functions.

npm i wikipedia-titles

A postinstall script will download title data from Wikipedia. This file is around 73MB gzipped, and 273MB unzipped.

Programmatic Usage

const stream = require('wikipedia-titles')
stream
  .on('data', (title) => {
    console.log(title)
  })
  .on('end', () => {
    console.log('done!')
  })

CLI Usage

Install it globally:

npm i -g wikipedia-titles

Now you'll have a command called wikipedia-titles on your PATH, and another called wt for convenience.

Count all titles:

wt | wc -l
13556168

You can optionally specify a string to match. Results are not case sensitive.
