Maybe you bot has the right page but read permission is needed for login api call which makes no sense. Is there any white list to enable the login api call?

Try to login with use_api_login = False in your user_config but I am not sure whether this still works with mw >= 1.18

Hi all,

I'm trying to use pywikipedia on a private wmf wiki, it can only be accessed by viewing it in https://. When I run login.py -all, I get

Traceback (most recent call last): File "login.py", line 436, in <module> main() File "login.py", line 414, in main if not forceLogin and site.loggedInAs(sysop = sysop): File "/home/thehelpfulone/pywikipedia/wikipedia.py", line 5102, in loggedInAs self._load(sysop = sysop) File "/home/thehelpfulone/pywikipedia/wikipedia.py", line 6053, in _load raise RuntimeError('%s' % data['error']) RuntimeError: {u'info': u'You need read permission to use this module', u'code': u'readapidenied'}

How can I fix the bot to allow it to log in (and thus run scripts?). By private wiki, I mean a wiki that you have to login to if you want to read anything other than the Main Page.

Thanks for your help!
