Re: [Mediawiki-api] http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php traffic limits

Hi, Thanks for your answer. The database dumps and setting up the mirror is my second option I guess. Before exploring that I would like to make sure that using API directly is not an option due to the traffic. Or is it? The system being developed is read only. Characteristics below: LOOKUP * take a search term, return "exact" match article response will likely need to include the title, snippet, thumbnail and URL SEARCH * take a search term; return relevant articles likely only return the most relevant article, and preferably only articles that exceed a specific relevancy score response will likely need to include the title, snippet, thumbnail and URL ARTICLE GET take a article ID, return contents of article I would be grateful for more info on API accepted external traffics. Thanks. 2012/12/28 Petr Onderka <gsvick(a)gmail.com>
