---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Gabriel Wicke gwicke@wikimedia.org Date: Mon, Jan 25, 2016 at 11:00 AM Subject: Deprecating rest.wikimedia.org in favor of /api/rest_v1/

We have decided to officially retire the rest.wikimedia.org domain in favor of /api/rest_v1/ at each individual project domain. For example,

https://rest.wikimedia.org/en.wikipedia.org/v1/?doc

becomes

https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/?doc

Most clients already use the new path, and benefit from better performance from geo-distributed caching, no additional DNS lookups, and sharing of TLS / HTTP2 connections.

We intend to shut down the rest.wikimedia.org entry point around March, so please adjust your clients to use /api/rest_v1/ soon.

Thank you for your cooperation,

Gabriel
