Hi,

I am getting an issue using the edit action of the MediaWiki API. Whenever I send an edit request I am getting an error response stating badtoken. The question I have is which token is this referring to. Is this referring to my cookie token which I have instructed curl to store or is it referring to the edit token.

The login operation is given the following parameters using a POST request;

action=login&lgname=<bot username>&lgpassword=<bot password>&format=php

To obtain the token I am using the following parameters in a GET request ;

action=query&intoken=edit&titles=IBWikiBotTest&prop=info|revisions&format=php.

The following parameters are then used as part of a POST request in the attempt to create a new page;

action=edit&title=IBWikiBotTest&summary=Page created by the IBWikiBot.&text=This is some test content added by the IBWikiBot.&md5=e21e79d8ee8ee6b5038c9bac090decf1&bot&recreate&token=0e72e13613a9408646cae5aa1a630d0a+\\&format=php

The unserialized response from the API is:

Array

(

[error] => Array

(

[code] => badtoken

[info] => Invalid token

)

Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.
