Hello Santosh,

For editing a page using the rest API, here is what the sequence would be like:

1) Get the login token

2) Use the token obtained in Step 1 to login

3) Get an additional token to edit

4) Make edit using the token obtained in Step 3

Did you look at the python example in the edit API tutorial https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Edit#Editing_via_Python? You could follow the Python script to learn what API calls you will need for this.

Best,

Srishti

Hi there,

I am new to the media wiki. Any help on this below query is highly appreciated.

Query:
I have created a media wiki server and update a section of one particular page (a table of values) dynamically.

I am planning to do this using rest APIs referring to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Tutorial

What is the flow I should follow to edit a page? Should I use APIs to login first and then get the csrf token using another rest API and then finally update the page.

What is the exact sequence??

Thanks in advance
