Hi there,
I am requesting support from bot-operators and tool-maintainers to help us test and verify new functionality that rolled out to the test wiki. As part of the RESTbase Sunsetting project https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/restbase_sunsetting/, we are rerouting some page content endpoints from RESTbase to the newer MediaWiki REST API endpoints. The impacted endpoints include getting page/revision metadata and rendered HTML content.
The specific endpoints that will be rerouted are listed below. More information about this change can be found in phabricator https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T374683.
*Page & revision metadata endpoints*:
- *GET* <domain>/api/rest_v1/page/title/{title} - Example: https://test.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/title/Earth https://test.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/title/Earth
- *GET* <domain>/api/rest_v1/page/title/{title}/{revision} - Example: https://test.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/title/Earth/604704
*Rendered HTML endpoints*:
- *GET* <domain>/api/rest_v1/page/html/{title} - Example: https://test.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/html/Earth
- *GET* <domain>/api/rest_v1/page/html/{title}/{revision} - Example: https://test.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/html/Earth/604704
Although we intend for this change to be backwards compatible, non-breaking and therefore non-impacting, we request your help in verifying that your tools and bots are unaffected by this change.
We plan to roll out this change across all Wikimedia projects in early January, following this testing period, so please be sure to test and give us your feedback before the end of the year! Feedback can be provided either in response to this email, or on the phab ticket https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T374683 directly.
Thanks, Halley
