Do it in two calls. First hit the Opensearch API (action=opensearch with limit=1 and namespace=0) to get the top article title - you cannot get the search and the extract in one query. Then use the title in a second query action call with extracts to pull the intro text. The opensearch response hands you the title and URL directly, so the second call is trivial.
