Hello,

I was not aware api.wikipedia are available in cached version !

I tried /rest_v1/ endpoint and it is terribly fast.
@Strainu / @Gabriel , what does  'graph' extension do ?


I have few questions for using proxy cache:
1# Is it possible to query a page by page_ID and include redirect?

/page/title/{title}
allow to get metadata by page, including the pageID , but I would like to have final page redirect (e.g. dna return 7956 and I would like to fetch 7955 of redirected 'DNA' )
/page/html/{title} get the article but page_ID / curid is missing in source

I would like to get the two combined.

2# The rest are experimental:
what could happen if a query fail?
Does it raise an error, return 404 page or what else?
I am thinking if possible to use api.wikipedia as fallback, and use proxy cache as primary source any ajax example for doing that to handle possible failures?

3# Does /rest/ endpoint exist also for other languages?

It will, but the canonical URL for this has always been
https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/?doc, which will continue to work.
Are you aware of any pageview users hitting rest.wikimedia.org?

In any case, we'll check the logs for remaining rest.wikimedia.org
accesses & make an effort to remind remaining users before
decommissioning it.

Gabriel
