Wikimedia Enterprise is a commercial product by the Wikimedia Foundation to provide, in a more easily consumable way, the data of the Wikimedia projects, including Wikipedia.[1] It allows customers to retrieve data at large scale and high availability through different formats like Web APIs, data snapshots or streams.
It was first announced in March 2021[2][3] and launched on October 26, 2021.[4][5]
Google and the Internet Archive were its first customers, although Internet Archive is not paying for the product.[4] A New York Times Magazine article was reporting that Wikimedia Enterprise made $3.1 million in total revenue in 2022.[1]
