Hello,
I was not aware api.wikipedia are available in cached version !
I tried /rest_v1/ endpoint and it is terribly fast.
https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/?doc
I have few questions for using proxy cache:
*1# Is it possible to query a page by page_ID and return the resulting
redirected page if necessary?*
e.g.:
/page/title/{title}
allow to get metadata by page, including the pageID , but I would like to
have final page redirect (e.g. dna return 7956 and I would like to fetch
7955 of redirected 'DNA' )
/page/html/{title}
get the article but page_ID / curid is missing in source
I would like to get the two combined.
*2# The rest are experimental:*
what could happen if a query fail?
Does it raise an error, return 404 page or what else?
I am thinking if possible to use api.wikipedia as fallback, and use proxy
cache as primary source any ajax example for doing that to handle possible
failures?
*3# Does /rest/ endpoint exist also for other languages?*
