Sorry, as far as I know it's not possible to achieve what you want via
the API.
Can't you use one of the supported output formats
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Data_formats#Output>?
If you absolutely need raw text, a Labs tool could be set up for that.

Yes something like that but without the markup, just clean text.
I can't imagine that there is no setting like this. There has to be
hasn't it?

Without JSON? Do you mean action=raw
<https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Douglas+Adams&action=raw>,
maybe?
But that contains wiki markup.

Sorry, this is not what I was looking for. I need it without
the json stuff and everything. But thank you.

Hello everyone,
how can I extract just clean plain text from a
Wikipedia article?
Without wiki-stuff, without html, without pictures,
without json.
Just clean text.
I can't seem to find this exact solution.
Best regards
Mikoto
Use the TextExtracts API
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TextExtracts#API>.
For example, this query
<https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=Douglas+Adams&prop=extracts&explaintext=1&exintro=1>
returns the lead section of the English Wikipedia article
Douglas Adams
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Adams> in plain text.
