pip install wikipedia-async
```

## Quick Start

```python
import asyncio
from modern_wikipedia import WikipediaClient

async def main():
    async with WikipediaClient() as client:
        # Search for articles
        results = await client.search("Python programming")
        
        # Get page content
        page = await client.get_page("Python (programming language)")
        print(f"Title: {page.title}")
        print(f"Summary: {page.extract[:200]}...")

asyncio.run(main())
```

## Advanced Usage Patterns

### Production Error Handling

```python
from modern_wikipedia.exceptions import (
    PageNotFoundError, 
    DisambiguationError,
    RateLimitError,
    NetworkError
)

async def robust_page_fetch(client, title):
    try:
        return await client.get_page(title)
    
    except PageNotFoundError:
        logger.warning(f"Page not found: {title}")
        return None
        
    except DisambiguationError as e:
        logger.info(f"Disambiguation for {title}: {e.options[:3]}")
        # Try first disambiguation option
        return await client.get_page(e.options[0])
        
    except RateLimitError as e:
        if e.retry_after:
            await asyncio.sleep(e.retry_after)
            return await client.get_page(title)
        
    except NetworkError as e:
        logger.error(f"Network error for {title}: {e}")
        return None
```

### High-Performance Batch Processing

```python
async def process_large_dataset(titles: List[str]):
    config = ClientConfig(
        rate_limit_calls=50,
        max_concurrent_requests=20,
        cache_ttl=3600,  # 1 hour cache
        max_batch_size=50
    )
    
    async with WikipediaClient(config=config) as client:
        # Process in chunks
        chunk_size = config.max_batch_size
        results = []
        
        for i in range(0, len(titles), chunk_size):
            chunk = titles[i:i + chunk_size]
            batch_result = await client.get_pages_batch(chunk)
            results.extend(batch_result.successful)
            
            # Log progress
            print(f"Processed {i + len(chunk)}/{len(titles)} pages")
            
        return results
```

### Monitoring and Metrics

```python
async def monitor_client_performance(client):
    """Monitor client performance metrics."""
    
    # Cache performance
    cache_stats = await client.cache_stats()
    print(f"Cache hit rate: {cache_stats['utilization']:.1%}")
    
    # Request timing
    import time
    start = time.time()
    await client.search("test query")
    request_time = time.time() - start
    
    print(f"Request time: {request_time:.3f}s")
    
    # Memory usage (requires psutil)
    import psutil
    process = psutil.Process()
    memory_mb = process.memory_info().rss / 1024 / 1024
    print(f"Memory usage: {memory_mb:.1f} MB")
```

### Multi-language Content Aggregation

```python
async def get_multilingual_content(title_translations):
    """Get content in multiple languages."""
    results = {}
    
    for lang, title in title_translations.items():
        config = ClientConfig(language=lang)
        
        async with WikipediaClient(config=config) as client:
            try:
                page = await client.get_page(title)
                results[lang] = {
                    'title': page.title,
                    'summary': page.extract[:500],
                    'url': str(page.url)
                }
            except Exception as e:
                results[lang] = {'error': str(e)}
    
    return results

# Usage
translations = {
    'en': 'Artificial Intelligence',
    'fr': 'Intelligence artificielle', 
    'de': 'Künstliche Intelligenz',
    'es': 'Inteligencia artificial'
}

multilingual_data = await get_multilingual_content(translations)
```

## Performance Benchmarks

Based on testing with typical Wikipedia queries:

| Operation | Cold Cache | Warm Cache | Improvement |
|-----------|-----------|-----------|-------------|
| Single Search | ~200ms | ~2ms | 100x faster |
| Page Fetch | ~300ms | ~3ms | 100x faster |
| Batch (10 pages) | ~800ms | ~15ms | 53x faster |

| Concurrency | Sequential | Concurrent | Speedup |
|-------------|-----------|-----------|---------|
| 10 searches | 2.1s | 0.4s | 5.3x |
| 50 pages | 8.5s | 1.2s | 7.1x |

## Best Practices

### 1. Configuration for Production

```python
# Recommended production config
config = ClientConfig(
    rate_limit_calls=25,           # Conservative rate limiting
    max_retries=3,                 # Reasonable retry count
    cache_ttl=1800,                # 30-minute cache
    timeout=45.0,                  # Longer timeout for reliability
    max_concurrent_requests=15,     # Moderate concurrency
    user_agent="YourApp/1.0 (contact@yourapp.com)"
)
```

### 2. Resource Management

```python
# Always use context managers
async with WikipediaClient(config=config) as client:
    # Your operations here
    pass
# Resources automatically cleaned up

# Or manual management
client = WikipediaClient(config=config)
try:
    # Your operations
    pass
finally:
    await client.close()
```

### 3. Error Handling Strategy

```python
# Implement proper error handling
async def safe_wikipedia_operation():
    try:
        result = await client.search("query")
        return result
    except RateLimitError:
        # Back off and retry
        await asyncio.sleep(1)
        return await client.search("query")
    except (NetworkError, TimeoutError):
        # Log and return fallback
        logger.error("Wikipedia unavailable")
        return []
    except ValidationError as e:
        # Fix input and retry
        logger.warning(f"Invalid input: {e}")
        return []
```

### 4. Monitoring Integration

```python
# Integrate with your monitoring system
import time
import logging

class MonitoredWikipediaClient(WikipediaClient):
    async def search(self, *args, **kwargs):
        start = time.time()
        try:
            result = await super().search(*args, **kwargs)
            duration = time.time() - start
            self.logger.info(f"Search completed in {duration:.3f}s")
            return result
        except Exception as e:
            self.logger.error(f"Search failed: {e}")
            raise
```

## Testing

### Unit Tests

```bash
# Run all tests
python -m pytest test_wikipedia.py -v

# Run with coverage
python -m pytest test_wikipedia.py --cov=modern_wikipedia

# Run integration tests (requires network)
python -m pytest test_wikipedia.py -m integration
```

### Performance Tests

```bash
# Run benchmarks
python benchmark.py

# Run examples
python examples.py
```

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

1. **Rate Limit Errors**
   - Reduce `rate_limit_calls` in config
   - Increase `rate_limit_period`
   - Enable caching to reduce API calls

2. **Timeout Errors**
   - Increase `timeout` value
   - Check network connectivity
   - Reduce `max_concurrent_requests`

3. **Memory Issues**
   - Reduce `max_cache_size`
   - Lower `cache_ttl`
   - Process data in smaller batches

4. **Import Errors**
   - Install all dependencies: `pip install -r requirements.txt`
   - Check Python version (requires 3.8+)

### Debug Mode

```python
import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

# Enable detailed logging
config = ClientConfig()
client = WikipediaClient(config=config)
```

## Contributing

This library is designed to be production-ready and extensible. Key areas for contribution:

1. **Performance Optimization**: Connection pooling, request batching
2. **Additional APIs**: More Wikipedia API endpoints
3. **Monitoring**: Better metrics and observability
