Hi,
I'm not able to login using clientlogin. Any help is appreciated. Below things I've already tried:
POST https://nl.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=tokens&type=lo…
Output:
{
"batchcomplete": "",
"query": {
"tokens": {
"logintoken": "85af2296d03f8ce504123b7733b0a7ad5880c782+\\"
}
}
}
POST https://nl.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=clientlogin&loginreturnurl=ht…
Input (text/plain):
logintoken=85af2296d03f8ce504123b7733b0a7ad5880c782+\\&username=Smile4ever&password=*******&rememberMe=1
Output:
{
"error": {
"code": "badtoken",
"info": "Invalid CSRF token.",
"*": "See https://nl.wikipedia.org/w/api.php for API usage."
},
"servedby": "mw1288"
}
Input (application/json):
{
"logintoken": "85af2296d03f8ce504123b7733b0a7ad5880c782+\\",
"username": "Smile4ever",
"password": "*******"
}
Output:
{
"error": {
"code": "notoken",
"info": "The \"token\" parameter must be set.",
"*": "See https://nl.wikipedia.org/w/api.php for API usage."
},
"servedby": "mw1278"
}
window.onbeforeunload = function() {}
Kind regards,

Thanks to everyone who contributed advice about disabling the API, and the security implications of trying to hide certain MediaWiki features (special pages, RSS, page history, etc.).

I notice that when the MediaWiki API is disabled (with $wgEnableAPI = false), this also disables auto-suggestions in the search box.
Assuming this is intentional... what's the friendliest way to forbid general web access to the API but still allow search suggestions to appear? I considered using the hook 'ApiBeforeMain' to return false unless action=opensearch. Is that the most reliable/friendly solution?
This is MediaWiki 1.28.0 with the default search engine, on an Ubuntu 16.04LTS host.
Thank you very much,
DanB
Hello team,
Hope this meets you well?
Please I am finding it impossible to generate a query to search MediaWiki API using a title and get in return url's of all matching pages.
Kindly help.
Thank you.
Hi Mediawiki-api mailing listers!
I'm trying to extract the full list of references for different revisions
of Wikipedia pages. This seemed like it would be easy enough with
"prop=references", but I keep getting the following error:
"error": {
"code": "citestoragedisabled",
"info": "Cite extension reference storage is not enabled.",
"*": "See https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php for API usage."
}
Even the example on the API's documentation page returns this error
(https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=help&modules=query%2Breferences).
Why does this occur? And is there no way of getting references through the API?
Thanks!
Best wishes,
Bertel
