问题
I want to get Wikipedia pages as text.
I looked at the Wikipedia API from here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php which says that in order to get pages as text I need to append this to a page address:
api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=namespaces&format=txt
However, when I try appending this suffix to a normal page's address, the page is not found:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Washington/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=namespaces&format=txt
Following the instructions from Get Text Content from mediawiki page via API, I tried adding /api.php?action=parse&page=test to the end of the query string. Therefore, I obtained this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Washington/api.php?action=parse&page=test
However, this doesn't work either.

NB: All this examples are CORS enabled.
Get the text in json format, from the precise title (as seen in the wikipedia page url):
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&origin=*&prop=extracts&explaintext&titles=Sokolsky_Opening&format=json
Search relevant pages by keywords, get IDs, get precise titles/url, get some quick text extract;
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=extracts&exlimit=max&format=json&exsentences=1&origin=*&exintro=&explaintext=&generator=search&gsrlimit=23&gsrsearch=chess
Get the wiki page ID by the precise title:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&origin=*&prop=pageprops&format=json&titles=Sokolsky_Opening
Get the full html by wiki page ID:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&origin=*&format=json&pageid=100017
Get stripped html, lighter version without the wikidata.
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&origin=*&prop=extracts&format=json&titles=Sokolsky_Opening
Cross origin:
Btw, using CORS requests, by knowing or searching the ID and/or the page title, we can use fetch to embed some wiki text anywhere, in a ssl context.
In the event of an unknown ID, we have to loop trough the json.
fetch("https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&origin=*&prop=extracts&explaintext&format=json&titles=Sokolsky_Opening").then(v => v.json()).then((function(v){
main.innerHTML = v["query"]["pages"]["100017"]["extract"]
})
)<pre id="main" style="white-space: pre-wrap"></pre>Good luck.

You have to use some of these formats: json, jsonfm, none, php, phpfm, rawfm, xml or xmlfm, so txt is not valid format. Also your API link is wrong, use this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=George_Washington&prop=revisions&rvprop=content&format=xml
