a) you may get better help at opendata.stackexchange.com b) of course you must provide what you have achieved so far. c) it seems you're mixing up the Mediawiki API and Wikidata. – funky-future May 22 '18 at 16:23

WikiData does not contain "content summary" for entities.
For summary from Wikipedia articles see: Is there a clean wikipedia API just for retrieve content summary? (Be sure to check out the answer regarding Page Previews)
