Hi all,
For my research (related to reverse engineering) I am interested in traffic logs of an API. It would help me a lot if I could get access to traffic logs of a web-service. My question is, could I acquire such traffic logs of for example Wikipedia.org? I'm interested in a collection of API requests, for example a list of calls like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=json&action=query&titles=P... This can simply be a list of urls, but can also be a server log or a Wireshark capture.
I understand potential data-privacy issue, but a curated or filtered list would already be very helpful.
Any pointers who to contact for such a request? Or other pointers for gathering such data?
Thank you in advance. Kind regards, Willem
Hi,
It is possible, but you need special permission and to sign an NDA. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Research/Formal_collaborations for details
