what i think you need is to create a custom printer for your action. I remember some api modules do that for various reasons. See getCustomPrinter On Fri, Dec 28, 2012 at 3:26 PM, <webmaster(a)numerica.cl> wrote:

By the way, Yuri's suggestion did work. I don't know if you use to post code in this list for the archive, so i will be succint: let's say I subclassed ApiFormatBase and overwrote execute like this public function execute() { $data = $this->getResultData(); $this->printText($data[0]); } so it strips the array from the response just gettings it's first value. Then, in the extension code, getCustomePrinter is also overriden like this public function getCustomPrinter() { return new MyApiFormat($this->getMain(),'plain'); } & that's all folks. Not too pretty, since the return array can be set only once, but it's enough for my needs and I think it can be easily worked on. So this is my give back.

Whatever the output, you want to make sure it's not interpreted as html, otherwise a <script> tag in the text will execute javascript if it's loaded in an iframe, or one of your users is redirected to the api's output somehow. Obviously, if this is just for your own wiki, you can decide if that's a threat or not. If you want to merge it into core, then you will need to do a lot of filtering on the output.
