WikiRace

This a WikiRace solver connected to an API I built and deployed via AWS Lambda.

How to use:

1. Enter your start and end Wikipedia URLs as they appear in the URL bar
   • EX: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_from_laughter
   • ⓘ Only English Wikipedia pages are accepted

2. Click the ‘Find Shortest Path Length’ button to calculate the minimum number of clicks needed to get from link A to B

3. Once calculated, click the ‘Reveal Path’ button to see the path from A to B
   • This is guaranteed to return the minimum number of clicks, though multiple valid paths may exist
4. Click ‘Reset’ to try another pair of links

ⓘ Warning: This BFS algorithm scales quickly due to network latency and Wikipedia’s breadth. If your links are highly unrelated, AWS Lambda will timeout after 15 minutes and won’t return a result.
