Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| search_history | Full-text search across every dated entry in the historical record, plus the subjects that match. Each entry is a sentence quoted verbatim from a numbered English Wikipedia revision and carries that revision id, so an answer built on it can cite a source that will still say the same thing next year. Use this whenever you need a dated fact. |
| get_year | Everything the record holds for one year: the headline summary and every dated entry, grouped by subject, each with its source revision. |
| get_day | One calendar day across every recorded year — what happened on 4 July in all of them. This aggregate exists in no single encyclopedia article. |
| get_timeline | One subject's whole record in date order: every dated entry across all years in which Wikipedia's editors linked to it, with its Wikidata id for joining to other datasets. |
| get_country | One country's dated record, century by century, harvested from the per-country year articles English Wikipedia writes separately ('1969 in Japan') and never indexes together. Use this when the question is about a nation rather than a year or a subject. |
| list_countries | Browse the countries that have a record of their own, largest first. |
| list_subjects | Browse the subjects that have a timeline, largest record first. |
