Hi, I need to integrate it with other Bash code, so pywikibot is really overkill for just a single edit on a few pages :) Kind regards, Geoffrey De Belie ---- On ma, 30 jan 2017 20:26:10 +0100 Martin Urbanec <martin.urbanec(a)wikimedia.cz> wrote ---- Hi, Maybe pywikibot will be more better than doing this using clean Bash. Have a look at Manual:Pywikibot at MediaWiki.org.

I tried this, but it's very outdated: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Client_code/Bash I had updated it to this: http://pastebin.com/e9LF3UDa I want to use this: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Edit#Editing_pages -> appendtext Can someone please provide me with at least a partial solution? I'm lost.

Hi, I had problems because of the +\\ in Bash. I was replacing those with their HTML encodings but that was preventing the code from functioning. Yes. Can I just pass the CSRF token ("edit token") to action=edit and expect the MediaWiki API to know who I am? This is the way I'm getting the CSRF token: CR=$(curl -S \ --location \ --cookie $cookie_jar \ --cookie-jar $cookie_jar \ --user-agent "Curl Shell Script" \ --keepalive-time 60 \ --header "Accept-Language: en-us" \ --header "Connection: keep-alive" \ --compressed \ --request "POST" "${WIKIAPI}?action=query&meta=tokens&format=json") Kind regards, Geoffrey ---- On ma, 30 jan 2017 21:08:13 +0100 Gergo Tisza <gtisza(a)wikimedia.org> wrote ----
