Fwd: INFO: Announcing removal of noimages parameter from deprecated action=mobileview API
by Jon Robson 18 Sep '20

18 Sep '20

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Jon Robson <jrobson(a)wikimedia.org> Date: Fri, Sep 11, 2020 at 12:49 PM Subject: INFO: Announcing removal of noimages parameter from deprecated action=mobileview API To: <mediawiki-api-announce(a)lists.wikimedia.org> The action=mobileview API was marked as deprecated at the end of the 2019 [1]. As we refactor code relating to this API we have decided to remove support for its `noimages` parameter which allowed users to request a page with img tags replaced with spans. Note: The `noimages` parameter also appeared inside the action=parse API [2] however was a no-op. It will no longer appear on action=parse requests as a result of this change. For clients wanting to perform img tag removals, this will need to be done by those scripts themselves, the PHP code is provided for your reference [3] If you have any questions or concerns about this change, please feel free to follow up on the Phabricator ticket [4].

badrevids by querying API error
by Larry D'Agostino 23 Jun '20

23 Jun '20

I'm looking into the Wikiloop Battlefield data http://battlefield.wikiloop.org/feed/mix and trying to query the data via the API using revision id. My attempts appear to return with "badrevids". Am i using the API incorrectly? Here is my sample python code... import requests S = requests.Session() URL = "https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php" PARAMS = { "action": "query", "prop": "revisions", "revids": 961090023, "rvprop": "ids|timestamp|user|comment|content", "rvslots": "main", "formatversion": "2", "format": "json" } R = S.get(url=URL, params=PARAMS) DATA = R.json() PAGES = DATA["query"] for page in PAGES: print(page)

[Mediawiki-api-announce] Planned removal of api_urls field in /page/summary endpoint
by Adam Baso 17 Jun '20

17 Jun '20

This message is a notice about forthcoming removal of a response field in the REST API’s /page/summary endpoint. [1] This message was posted to wikitech-l and is being cross-posted on mediawiki-api-announce. The endpoint is used in the Page Previews (“hovercards”) functionality on the classic web (desktop) and Android & iOS experiences for Wikipedia, in addition to numerous external experiences. We don't anticipate impacts on the mainline Wikipedia experiences from this forthcoming field removal, as the endpoint will still be operational. The REST API's /page/summary endpoint provides an api_urls field in its response with links to several other REST API endpoints supported by the Page Content Service. Three of the api_urls subfields refer to experimental endpoints that have been removed from the REST API altogether in favor of newer API endpoints. 1. media (/page/media) 2. references (/page/references) 3. metadata (/page/metadata). api_urls also contains subfields referring to stable endpoints that continue to exist in the REST API: 1. summary (which is self referential) 2. edit_html (/page/html - the Parsoid HTML) 3. talk_html (/page/html/Talk:<title> - the Parsoid HTML for the corresponding Talk page) Wikimedia’s Product Infrastructure team intends to remove the api_urls field of the /page/summary response. A cursory review at https://codesearch.wmflabs.org/ and Wikimedia Git mirrors suggests api_urls isn’t in use in consuming code. Review of web logs suggests traffic for the following endpoints: - The media endpoint is at about 5% of its original traffic before its decommission and it appears to be from old Wikipedia for Android clients. This is expected. - The references endpoint’s Wikipedia for Android traffic does not seem present and its other traffic appears to be from non-user application software based on User-Agent header components. -The metadata endpoint’s traffic seems to have all but stopped. This change is being announced in advance of the change because the endpoint is advertised as stable. [2] Please update your clients if you rely on the presence of the api_urls field. If this change poses a problem for your clients, please do let us know as soon as possible at the tracking task: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T247991 We plan to remove the api_urls field described here on or after 14 July 2020. Thank you.

tpt-target-page : how to anticipate it for API:Edit ?
by Nicolas Vervelle 10 Jun '20

10 Jun '20

Hello, I'm trying to add Meta as a wiki in my tool, WPCleaner. Meta has differences with the usual languages wikis, like the fact that a page can have translations. Such translations are handled by Extension:Translate, which prevents updating the translated pages through API:Edit (getting error tpt-target-page when trying to update such page). How can I know before using API:Edit that it will not work? If possible, when retrieving basic information about the page (like API:Query:Info). My need is to skip such pages (avoid getting their content and working on them) for the moment. Nico

Fetch swimmer data
by Vladimir Dabic 08 Jun '20

08 Jun '20

Hi, I'm having some trouble when I try to fetch data for swimmers. When I do allpages request ( https://wiki.swimrankings.net/api.php?action=query&list=allpages&format=json) I get only some 4 non-important pages There are no pages like rankingDetail that could contain the data. I can't even get those pages to see if data can be extracted from them. If you look, for example, parse request for Main_Page: https://wiki.swimrankings.net/api.php?action=parse&page=Main_Page&prop=text… you can see that it returns HTML content There are no other pages except these 4 pages above so I cannot fetch any swimmer's data. Can I somehow get data for individual swimmers... ? Vladimir

Action API
by Ed Hertzog 22 May '20

22 May '20

I am looking to query the API to get back a list of all Wikimedia projects and, hopefully, some relevant metadata. My first question is, is 'namespace' the term used to describe a Wikimedia project? Also, is there a query I can use to do that? I'm having some issues finding that information in the documentation. Thanks in advance, Ed

Question about using Swimranking API
by Vladimir Dabic 27 Apr '20

27 Apr '20

Hello, I am a web developer and I was tasked with creating new mobile app that would allow people to compare different swimmers and their times in various swimming styles. My question is: 1. Can I use your API freely or is it a paid service? 2. Can I store data that your API provides in my database? Thank you

[Mediawiki-api-announce] Change to action=login response when login fails due to session loss
by Brad Jorsch (Anomie) 08 Apr '20

08 Apr '20

Since April 2010,[1] when no lgtoken is passed to the Action API action=login it will return a "NeedToken" response including the token to use. While this method of fetching the login token was deprecated in January 2016,[2] it is still present for the benefit of clients that have not yet been updated and is not (yet) being removed. The NeedToken response was also being returned when an lgtoken was supplied but could not be validated due to session loss. While this made sense back in 2010 when the NeedToken response was the only way to fetch the login token, these days it is mainly confusing[3] and a way for clients with broken cookie handling to wind up in a loop. With the merge of Gerrit change 586448,[4] the API will no longer return NeedToken when lgtoken was supplied. If the token cannot be validated due to session loss, a "Failed" response will be returned with a message referring to session loss as the problem. This change should be deployed to Wikimedia sites with 1.35.0-wmf.28 or later, see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.35/Roadmap for a schedule. Note that the change HAS NOT been deployed to Wikimedia sites as of the time of this email. If your client's ability to log in broke on 6 April 2020, the cause is most likely an unrelated change to Wikimedia's infrastructure that caused some HTTP headers to be output with HTTP/2 standard casing, i.e. "set-cookie" rather than the traditional "Set-Cookie". See https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T249680 for details and further discussion of that situation.
