Final reminder on this: We are planning to finally sunset rest.wikimedia.org in the week starting April 25th, 1 1/2 weeks from now. Please move your REST API clients to /api/rest_v1/ at the regular project domains instead!

This will happen in a week's time. We are, however, still observing quite a volume of requests for mobile sections endpoints using the rest.wikimedia.org domain. Specifically, almost all of the requests are asking for resources pertaining to the de.wikipedia.org domain. Unfortunately no user-agent header is provided so we are not able to pin-point the client. Please ensure your clients point to https://%7Bdomain%7D/api/rest_v1/ instead of https://rest.wikimedia.org/%7Bdomain%7D/v1/.

Cheers, Marko

Thanks,

Gabriel

We have decided to officially retire the rest.wikimedia.org domain in favor of /api/rest_v1/ at each individual project domain. For example,

https://rest.wikimedia.org/en.wikipedia.org/v1/?doc

becomes

https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/?doc

Most clients already use the new path, and benefit from better performance from geo-distributed caching, no additional DNS lookups, and sharing of TLS / HTTP2 connections.

We intend to shut down the rest.wikimedia.org entry point around March, so please adjust your clients to use /api/rest_v1/ soon.

Thank you for your cooperation,

Gabriel
