Hi, What is the best way to get the main image of a wiki page? For example, I would like to retrieve http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b9/Steve_Jobs_Headsho… for the Steve Jobs wiki page <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs> . thanks

Freebase like API with an OUTPUT feature ?
by Thad Guidry 07 Jan '15

07 Jan '15

Hello New Freebase :) I have updated the OpenRefine reconciliation redo task to support reconciling against Wikidata here: https://github.com/OpenRefine/OpenRefine/issues/805 However, in our inspection of your API, would could not find a close approximate for something that the Freebase API had, which was OUTPUT of Properties for each Entity / Item that is returned with a search, as shown in examples here: ALL http://freebase-search.freebaseapps.com/?filter=(all+type%3A%2Feducation%2F… and PART OF http://freebase-search.freebaseapps.com/?filter=(all+type%3A%2Feducation%2F… Looking at the Wikidata API, this query syntax does not provide additional property (CLAIM) details: https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=wbsearchentities&search=Valve&lan… I would ideally like to have a way to output STATEMENTS or CLAIMS and their values. An ALL CLAIMS parameter, as well as providing which CLAIMS perhaps separated by | pipe. Is there a way to do so now with the current implementation somehow ? Thanks in advance, Thad +ThadGuidry <https://www.google.com/+ThadGuidry>

API for merging pages (as in: Special:Log/merge)?
by Ivan Shmakov 02 Jan '15

02 Jan '15

I’ve recently seen that merging pages does not require the usual (delete, move, undelete, move) sequence anymore, as evidenced by new Special:Log/merge log entries. What is the API request I use to perform such merges? Somehow, neither https://mediawiki.org/w/api.php, nor the API documentation seem to mention anything like that. TIA. -- FSF associate member #7257 http://debbugs.gnu.org/18687 3013 B6A0 230E 334A

[Mediawiki-api-announce] ApiFeatureUsage extension in testing
by Brad Jorsch (Anomie) 23 Dec '14

23 Dec '14

I've just deployed the ApiFeatureUsage extension to Beta Labs for testing. If an API client (e.g. a bot or a user script) sets a unique User-Agent or Api-User-Agent header, a summary of deprecated API features hit by that client may be fetched from Special:ApiFeatureUsage[1] or from the API itself.[2] Please try it out, and report any issues in Phabricator using the MediaWiki-extension-ApiFeatureUsage project. If things look good after testing I'll be looking at getting it deployed to production in the next month or so.

API JSONFM format
by John 16 Dec '14

16 Dec '14

why cant I get a simple pretty print version of the json format via the new API? With the old API (example: http://gameshub.wikia.com/api.php?action=query&list=recentchanges&format=js… ) you got a basic text output. Nice clean and simple. With the recent API rewrite, someone decided to really screw with the look. Now you get a color coded, HTML rich, text on a Blue background (Example: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=recentchanges&format=js… ). Where did the basic simple clean output go? and how do I get it back?

Tracking changes of a page - Revision id / version number of a wikipedia page / title
by practikalmind 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

Hi, Am I correct in assuming that if I wanted to track if a particular Wikipedia page has changed from the last time I looked at it would be the id within revision element? <revision> <id>631144794</id> <parentid>381202555</parentid> <timestamp>2014-10-26T04:50:23Z</timestamp> Thanks
