Please correct me if I&#39;m wrong, but I don&#39;t think it&#39;s a good idea to assume that API is only for bots - after all bot can use API on behalf of the user and use their credentials (or lack of them). API definitely has JSON implementation and can be used in GUI elements that are available to users as much as for bots.<br>

API is intended for bots, not humans. Making it accept anon edits just<br>
allows bots to edit accidentally logged off. And the AssertEdit<br>
extension doesn&#39;t seem to work for API. What can be done about this?<br>
<br>
Simply adding an AlternateEdit hook call to ApiEditPage leads to ugly<br>
HTML output.<br>
