I'm using the version 0.33 of Mediawiki::API. So i need to upgrade it?

yes. 0.33 was released two years ago, before the mediawiki API had support for file uploads (1.16 which had this support was released a month or two after). 0.39 is on cpan.

Sorry, i just have another question.

Is it possible to download old versions of a file (image, pdf ..) with the function MediaWiki::API->download( $params_hashref )http://search.cpan.org/%7Eexobuzz/MediaWiki-API-0.39/lib/MediaWiki/API.pm#MediaWiki::API-%3Edownload%28_$params_hashref_%29? When I tried to call this function for example with filename * '20120606205541!Test.txt'* which is located in directory images/archive/ I got empty result. According to the documentation of the download function, it means the file doesn't exist on the MediaWiki. *"If the file does not exist (on the wiki) an empty string is returned. If the file is unable to be downloaded undef is returned.*"

Thanks.

Yeah, I tried to install this version, after installing all of the packages prerequise , and tape make install. it generate this line:

*Appending installation info to /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1/perllocal.pod*

Nothing change, my version is still 0.33. Do i have to move the file API.pm in *lib/Mediawiki* to the folder /usr/shared/perl5/Mediawiki/API.pm?

the "name" is the name in the wiki - ie File:Something.jpg - not the on disk name. the download call was a shortcut to get the last version only.

Read the API documentation here - http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/**APIinhttp://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/APIinthis case you can use imageinfo.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.**php?action=query&titles=Image:** Albert%20Einstein%20Head.jpg&**prop=imageinfo&iilimit=4&**iiprop=urlhttp://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=Image:Albert%20Einstein%20Head.jpg&prop=imageinfo&iilimit=4&iiprop=url

Thanks you so much, now i have all the urls of a file from my wiki using

this method. sub getFileArchive { mw_connect_maybe(); my $filename = shift; my $query = { action => 'query', prop => 'imageinfo', titles => $filename, iilimit => 4, iiprop => 'url', }; my $result = $mediawiki->api($query);

my ($pageID,$page) = each (%{$result->{query}->{pages}}); if (defined($page->{imageinfo})) { while (my $urlFile = pop(@{$page->{imageinfo}})) { my $host = $urlFile->{url}; print "$host\n"; } } }

you can use LWP::UserAgent (as my module does) or WWW:Mechanize which is even simpler (http://search.cpan.org/dist/**WWW-Mechanize/http://search.cpan.org/dist/WWW-Mechanize/) or WWW:Curl

The Download function is for "mediawiki named" files - not the on disk filename - it just gets the last file revision.

my download function gets the url for the last image revision and then

$response = LWP::UserAgent->get($url); checks the $response->code

and if ok returns the $response->decoded_content;

so you could do the same with the urls. you can even reuse the mediawiki::Api objects lwp useragent if you like and do ($mw = MediaWiki::API object - configured and ready)

$response = $mw->{ua}->get($url); and if ok, open a new file for writing and write the contents out.

some of the modules mentioned earlier (and perhaps even UserAgent) are sure to have oneliners for this if you prefer. for large files they might be smarter too.

Thank you so much for your help, now i'm able to download all the files from the archives. i used the LWP::UserAgent as your suggestion * my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new( timeout => 25 ); my $response = $ua->get($url); if ($response->code) { $response = $response->decoded_content; } * Thuat.
