Wikipedia
We use the official REST summary endpoint when available, preserving canonical links, timestamps, and Creative Commons attribution.
Methodology
Comparepedia is designed to compare short, verifiable snapshots rather than republish full encyclopedia pages. Each result keeps source links, update signals, and capture mode labels visible.
How collection works
Grokipedia
We attempt to capture a minimal public page excerpt and metadata. If the page shape changes, results may fall back to a proxy extraction or AI-generated summary label.
Cache policy
Results are cached for one hour and can be served stale while revalidating, which keeps pages fast and avoids unnecessary source requests.
Capture mode labels
| Label | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Direct page excerpt | Comparepedia captured a short excerpt from a public source page. |
| Proxy extracted summary | A fallback extraction service returned readable page text when direct capture was unavailable. |
| AI-generated fallback | An AI summary was used because source content could not be captured directly. |
| Official REST summary | Wikipedia returned data through its official summary API. |
Limits and best use
Comparepedia is not a final authority. It is a review layer that helps readers decide what to verify next. For sensitive claims, follow source links and use primary references before publishing.
