Sounds like a reasonable request. API can already be used internally - http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Calling_internally , but it currently checks the user limits.
Please file a bug and I will fix it to allow any limit value for internal calls (the limits will still be there, just won't be checked against the maximum allowed).

Hi all,
I'd really like to see a CLI version of the api.php that doesn't have any limits on volume of output (since it's CLI, it's assumed to be trusted).
This would be incredibly useful for various types of dumps and statistics gathering. Your thoughts?
