MediaWiki API help

This is an auto-generated MediaWiki API documentation page.

Documentation and examples: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API

Main module

Status: Alle funksjonene som vises på denne siden skal virke, men API-en er fortsatt i aktiv utvikling, og kan bli endret når som helst. Abonner på MediaWiki sin API-kunnkjøringsepostliste for nyheter om oppdateringer.

Feile kall: Hvis det blir sendt feile kall til API-et, blir det sendt en HTTP-header med nøkkelen "MediaWiki-API-Error" og da blir både header-verdien og feilkoden sendt tilbake med samme verdi. For mer informasjon se API: Feil og advarsler.

Testing: For enkelt å teste API-kall, se Special:ApiSandbox.

Maksimal forsinkelse kan brukes når MediaWiki er installert på et database-replikert cluster.

Type: user name
requestid

En gitt verdi her vil inkluderes i responsen. Kan brukes til å skille forespørsler fra hverandre.

servedby

Inkluder navnet på tjeneren som utførte forespørselen i resultatene.

Type: boolean (details)
curtimestamp

Inkluder det nåværende tidsmerket i resultatet.

Type: boolean (details)
responselanginfo

Inkluder språkene brukt for uselang og errorlang i resultatet.

Type: boolean (details)
origin

Når man aksesserer API-en som bruker en domene-kryssende AJAX-forespørsel (CORS), sett denne til det opprinnelige domenet. Denne må tas med i alle pre-flight-forespørsler, og derfor være en del av spørre-URI-en (ikke POST-kroppen).

For autentiserte forespørsler må denne stemme helt med en av de opprinnelige i Origin-headeren, slik at den må settes til noe a la https://en.wikipedia.org eller https://meta.wikimedia.org. Hvis denne parameteren ikke stemmer med Origin-headeren, returneres et 403-svar. Hvis denne parameteren stemmer med Origin-headeren og originalen er hvitlistet, vil Access-Control-Allow-Origin og Access-Control-Allow-Credentials-headere bli satt.

For ikke-autentiserte forepørsler, spesifiser *. Denne vil gjøre at Access-Control-Allow-Origin-headeren blir satt, men Access-Control-Allow-Credentials blir false og alle bruerspesifikke data blir begrenset.

uselang

Språk å bruke for meldingsoversettelser. action=query&meta=siteinfo med siprop=languages returnerer en liste over språkkoder, eller spesifiser user for å bruke den nåværende brukerens språkpreferanser, eller spesifiser content for å bruke denne wikiens innholdsspråk.

Default: user

plaintext

wikitext
Ubehandlet wikitext.
html
HTML.
raw
Meldingsnøkler og -parametre.
none
Ingen tekst, bare feilkoder.
bc
Format brukt før MediaWiki 1.29. errorlang og errorsuselocal ses bort fra.
One of the following values: plaintext, wikitext, html, raw, none, bc
Default: bc
errorlang

Språk som skal brukes for advarsler og feil. action=query&meta=siteinfo med siprop=languages/ returnerer ei liste over språkkoder, eller angi content for å bruke wikiens innholdsspråk, eller angi uselang for å bruke samme verdi som uselang-parameteren.

Default: uselang
errorsuselocal

Hvis gitt, vil feiltekster bruke lokalt tilpassede meldinger fra MediaWiki-navnerommet.

Type: boolean (details)
Permissions:
writeapi
Redigere via API
Granted to: all, user og bot
apihighlimits
Use higher limits in API queries (slow queries: 500; fast queries: 5000). The limits for slow queries also apply to multivalue parameters.
Granted to: bot og sysop

  • License: GPL-2.0+

Logg inn på wikien med den interaktive flyten.

The general procedure to use this module is:

  1. Fetch the fields available from action=query&meta=authmanagerinfo with amirequestsfor=login, and a login token from action=query&meta=tokens.
  2. Present the fields to the user, and obtain their submission.
  3. Post to this module, supplying loginreturnurl and any relevant fields.
  4. Check the status in the response.
    • If you received PASS or FAIL, you're done. The operation either succeeded or it didn't.
    • If you received UI, present the new fields to the user and obtain their submission. Then post to this module with logincontinue and the relevant fields set, and repeat step 4.
    • If you received REDIRECT, direct the user to the redirecttarget and wait for the return to loginreturnurl. Then post to this module with logincontinue and any fields passed to the return URL, and repeat step 4.
    • If you received RESTART, that means the authentication worked but we don't have a linked user account. You might treat this as UI or as FAIL.
Parametre:
loginrequests

Only use these authentication requests, by the id returned from action=query&meta=authmanagerinfo with amirequestsfor=login or from a previous response from this module.

When that completes, the third party will send the browser or web view to this URL. You should extract any query or POST parameters from the URL and pass them as a logincontinue request to this API module.

logincontinue

This request is a continuation after an earlier UI or REDIRECT response. Either this or loginreturnurl is required.

  • Denne modulen aksepterer bare POST forespørsler.
  • Source: MediaWiki
  • License: GPL-2.0+

Link an account from a third-party provider to the current user.

The general procedure to use this module is:

  1. Fetch the fields available from action=query&meta=authmanagerinfo with amirequestsfor=link, and a csrf token from action=query&meta=tokens.
  2. Present the fields to the user, and obtain their submission.
  3. Post to this module, supplying linkreturnurl and any relevant fields.
  4. Check the status in the response.
    • If you received PASS or FAIL, you're done. The operation either succeeded or it didn't.
    • If you received UI, present the new fields to the user and obtain their submission. Then post to this module with linkcontinue and the relevant fields set, and repeat step 4.
    • If you received REDIRECT, direct the user to the redirecttarget and wait for the return to linkreturnurl. Then post to this module with linkcontinue and any fields passed to the return URL, and repeat step 4.
    • If you received RESTART, that means the authentication worked but we don't have a linked user account. You might treat this as UI or as FAIL.
Parametre:
linkrequests

Only use these authentication requests, by the id returned from action=query&meta=authmanagerinfo with amirequestsfor=link or from a previous response from this module.

Upon receiving a REDIRECT response, you will typically open a browser or web view to the specified redirecttarget URL for a third-party authentication flow. When that completes, the third party will send the browser or web view to this URL. You should extract any query or POST parameters from the URL and pass them as a linkcontinue request to this API module.

linkcontinue

This request is a continuation after an earlier UI or REDIRECT response. Either this or linkreturnurl is required.

alternative multiple-value separator
Parameters that take multiple values are normally submitted with the values separated using the pipe character, e.g. param=value1|value2 or param=value1%7Cvalue2. If a value must contain the pipe character, use U+001F (Unit Separator) as the separator and prefix the value with U+001F, e.g. param=%1Fvalue1%1Fvalue2.
