Wikivoyage is the free, collaboratively written travel guide operated by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation. It covers travel destinations worldwide with articles on accommodation, sightseeing, local transport, and practical travel advice. Like all Wikimedia projects, Wikivoyage exposes its content through the MediaWiki Action API (/w/api.php) and the MediaWiki Core REST API (/w/rest.php/v1/), enabling developers to query, retrieve, and update travel guide articles programmatically. Content is available in over 20 languages. All APIs are governed by the Wikimedia Foundation API Usage Guidelines: a contactable User-Agent is required, serial (non-parallel) requests are expected for bulk work, and the maxlag parameter must be used by automated clients.
