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,
To keep part of SuggestBot's data updated I have a script that polls
regularly (once an hour) and uses the site.recentchanges() method to
get a time-limited list of the recent changes. Lately I have noticed
that this script throws an error:
raise APIError(code, info, **result["error"])
pywikibot.data.api.APIError: rcpermissiondenied: You need the patrol
right to request the patrolled flag
>From what I can tell by sending manual requests to en-WP's API, I
don't get this error message if I'm logged in (as a regular user), but
it pops up if I'm not logged in. SuggestBot should be logged in, as I
make calls to pywikibot.getSite() and site.has_right() before I call
site.recentchanges(). So it could seem like the problem is related to
not being logged in.
I'm not sure where to start debugging this, maybe it's not a pywikibot
problem? Maybe it's only something I'm seeing? I'm running the
latest revision of the rewrite branch, btw.
Any input on where to start looking for clues would be great, thanks!
Cheers,
Morten
Sorry, didn't notice the reply just went to xqt, here's a forward to the list.
Cheers,

I grabbed the latest trunk from SVN and wrote a variant of the test
script I linked to earlier, and then it works just fine.
What's the take on trunk vs 2.0? When I started using PWB a couple of
years ago (or thereabouts), 2.0 was the preferred version. Should I
consider switching back?
Cheers,
Morten

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!

Hi
I have found that when we upload the invalid license images throgh
Flickrripper, currently the tool does not allow copyrighted images (great),
but it does not show any message to the user like (invalid license). I have
tweaked this adding the message, so that user can aware of why the image
did not get upload.
Please suggest and let me know whether I can update to SVN

Jenith

Hi,
I attached a very small i18n file to this new script. Please anyone submit
it because I got an "access forbidden" error. :-(

Hi,
catlib.py tries to say if a category is hidden like this:
hidden = re.search('__HIDDENCAT__', text)
But many wikis have already templates for that. See the interwikis at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Hidden_category for Wikipedias. Shall
we list these templates within catlib.py, or what is the process? Is that a
similar task than handling disambig templates in solve_disambiguation.py?
