Hi, I’m trying to create a page programmatically. I can get a token back from a GET, but
doing an action=edit in a PUT does not create the page. The response I get back is the
MediaWiki API help page.
My Python code is below. Can anyone see what I’m doing wrong?
Thanks,
Matthew
#!/bin/env python
import requests
import urllib
import urllib.parse
baseUrl = 'http://chlamyannotations-test2.princeton.edu/api.php'
params = {'action': 'query',
'meta': 'tokens'}
responseFilename = '/molbio2/mcahn/temp/createPagesResponse.html'
r = requests.get(baseUrl, params=params)
print(r)
print(r.text)
params = {'action': 'edit',
'title': 'TestPage',
'summary': 'Test summary',
'text': 'article content',
'token': r'+\\'}
f = open(responseFilename, 'w')
r = requests.put(baseUrl, data=urllib.parse.urlencode(params))
print(r)
f.write(r.text)
f.close()
