@Kishan
Feel free to start a page describing what the two API hooks do with a simple example as
it's done in pages like [0]. It would be a nice basis for other people to share their
use cases.
@Aleksey
You just have to use prop=imageinfo ([1]) with iiprop=size and you will get a
"pagecount" for each multipages files
(example: [2]).

Sorry for offtop:
Kishan, and is there any straightforward way to know how many pages a DjVu/PDF contains,
through some API call?
By straightforward I mean not asking for new pages, till you start getting errors.
Best,
Aleksey

I was redirected here by Sumana Harihareswara
with a proposed task of documenting API for ProofreadPage extension
(
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ProofreadPage) and later helping to improve
same.
At this point ProofreadPage (prp) API adds 2 hooks over API under action=query module:-
1.) Properties - prop=proofread ( This is to get Proofreading level of Page: pages )
2.) Meta - meta=proofreadinfo ( Local Configuration Information )
In context, i would really appriciate if someone can share thier thoughts and help me
compile notes to proceed further.
Points could include:-
1.) Use-case of API.
2.) Existing components/projects/bots already using proofread API features.
3.) Anything else.
You can do a lot with ProofreadPage without any new APIs. For example, I wrote a Perl
module to download an entire book from the English Wikisource as WikiText two years ago.
At that time, I implemented it for a hypothetical “Index:Entire book.pdf” by:
1. Using prop=imageinfo to get the number of pages for “File:Entire book.djvu".
2. Using prop=revisions to download the Wikitext for each individual page from
“Page:Entire book.djvu/1” to “Page:Entire book.djvu/9999” (if the image had 9,999 pages).
This will work for Wikisources that redirect “File:”, “Index:” and “Page:” into their
local namespaces. I ignored the proofread status entirely, since all the pages I needed to
download had already been transcribed, but I guess it might be helpful to have an API
query that could return the proofread status for every page in an Index page. That’s the
only idea I have for now!
If you’re curious, the Perl code I wrote is available at
https://github.com/gaurav/henderson/tree/master/WWW-Wikisource/lib/WWW/Wiki…
cheers,
Gaurav
