5 tokens / call

Historical events, notable births and deaths, holidays and Wikipedia's editor-selected highlights for any day of the year, live from Wikipedia's "On this day" feed (CC BY-SA 4.0) with 24-hour caching. Every item carries the year, the event text, the linked article's title, short description, Wikipedia URL and thumbnail; pick a type, newest-first or oldest-first ordering, and a limit, and see totals per type. Accepts MM-DD or full dates and rejects impossible days.
