Currently, hints are extracted from the rendered HTML for a wiki page using cheerio. But I just noticed that wikipedia has an "extracts" API:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=extracts&exchars=200&explaintext=true&format=json&titles=Donald%20Glover

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=extracts&exchars=200&explaintext=true&format=json&titles=Kansas%20City,%20Missouri

They seem to generally be as good if not better than the results from our custom hint code.

This might also address #159 🙏
