### get_article_details

| `full_extract` | string | No | Set to 'true' to get the full article text instead of just the introduction. Accepted values: 'true', 'false'. |
| `pageid` | string | No | Wikipedia page ID (numeric string, e.g. '23862'). Either pageid or title must be provided. |
| `title` | string | No | Wikipedia article title (e.g. 'Python (programming language)'). Either pageid or title must be provided. |
