Comparepedia displays short excerpts to help readers evaluate differences between Grokipedia and Wikipedia. We respect each source’s licensing terms and encourage users to consult the original pages for full context.

Grokipedia

Grokipedia is an AI-driven encyclopedia. It does not currently provide a public API, so Comparepedia fetches a minimal set of page metadata (title, first paragraph, last updated timestamp when available) for side-by-side comparison purposes. We honour robots.txt and cache responses for at least one hour to avoid excessive load.

Grokipedia is not affiliated with Comparepedia. Page structure may change without notice, and we degrade gracefully to a lightweight summary or link-only card where required.

Usage guidelines

  • Excerpts are limited to the lead paragraph and essential metadata.
  • No scraping of full articles. We respect source rate limits and cache responses between one and six hours.
  • Always include attribution when re-sharing content sourced from Comparepedia.
  • Questions or takedown requests? Email legal@comparepedia.org.

Comparepedia is designed for research, editorial and briefing workflows where short excerpts provide enough context to spot differences in narrative or freshness.

Editorial fact-checking

Verify tone, framing, and cited sources before publishing. Pair Grokipedia nuance with Wikipedia’s canonical references to keep copy balanced.

Corporate intelligence

Summarise brand coverage, executive updates, and competitive positioning using cached compare pages during leadership briefings.

Academic synthesis

Capture high-level descriptions for literature reviews, then follow the source links to gather citations that meet institutional requirements.

May I redistribute Comparepedia excerpts?

Short excerpts are fine provided you link back to the original page and cite the source. For Wikipedia content, follow the CC BY-SA 4.0 license. For Grokipedia, clearly state that it is a non-official feed.

Are there request limits?

We apply a soft limit of about thirty requests per minute per IP to protect upstream providers. Cached hits are fast and do not count heavily against your quota, but please avoid bulk scraping.

How long are pages cached?

Responses stay in cache for one hour with a 24 hour stale-while-revalidate window. If the upstream HTML structure changes, the service automatically falls back to a lighter summary within minutes.

How do I report sensitive or infringing content?

Email legal@comparepedia.org with the relevant link. We will remove or adjust the entry promptly after review.
