Hey all,
The citoid service, which looks up URLs and similar strings and turns them into citations, has moved to be accessed via RESTbase as part of decommissioning the per-service domain system[0]. The old domain will stop working on *1 May 2017* (just under two months from now).
In simple terms, this means that requests to citoid via citoid.wikimedia.org/api?… (*e.g.* [1]) now need to go to {wiki domain}/api/rest_v1/data/citoid/… (*e.g.* [2]) to work. End-point documentation is available in the usual place.[3]
We have already moved the automatic citation feature inside the visual editor to use the domain. If you are responsible for a script, gadget, or tool which is using the old domain, please switch over before the deadline.
