Project Data included in Wikimedia Enterprise
Data available in Wikimedia Enterprise APIs is aggregated from multiple Wikimedia projects including their language editions.
Wikipedia is just the tip of the iceberg as we also include Wiktionary, Wikibooks, Wikisource, Wikiquote, Wikivoyage, Wikiversity, and Wikinews. Having one API with all of this information, you can combine data from multiple projects to fulfill your data needs and spark inspiration on how to use Wikimedia Enterprise for your organization or startup, a large language model, search engine, or knowledge graph, or data science endeavors.
Requesting //api.enterprise.wikimedia.com/v2/codes, part of our Metadata Endpoints, will respond with the list of projects, each with identifier, name, and description. The project identifier will be useful when filtering your other requests.

annotated texts, instructional guides, and manuals. Wikibooks also has two

children from birth to age 12, and the Cookbook, which is our collection
of recipes, cooking techniques, and culinary topics.
