Hello! Can I restrict access to mediawiki api? I need deny all permission for every users, except one, which login and password I give to client
You can use MediaWiki's existing permissions for this. If you deny anonymous users the right to read pages (read the documentation for more info, but essentially it's $wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false; ), the API will refuse to let anonymous users do anything but log in.
Of course you'll also want to restrict account creation or something, but the point is that as long as you've made sure that permission to read through the normal web interface is denied, permission to use the API will also be denied.
