Cross-site policy is annoying but you can use the below JSONP pure javscript code though

function onFetchComplete(data){console.log(data);}

var script = document.createElement('script');

script.src = 'https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&generator=random&grnnamespace=0&prop=extracts&exchars=500&format=json&callback=onFetchComplete';

document.body.appendChild(script);
