API stuff

• help from the mediawiki api's help call
• a mediawiki api sub-page on just query that's good
• main page mediawiki api
• help from arelith's own outdated version of the mediwiki

Example API call on Arelith's mediawiki api:

• http://wiki.nwnarelith.com/w/api.php?action=query&generator=categorymembers&gcmtitle=Category:Spells&gcmlimit=max&gcmtype=page&format=json&formatversion=2
  • /w/api.php?action=query is a query action, can only have one action at a time
  • &generator=categorymembers is a generator, rather than using list and then querying the specific page for its contents, get the details at the same time with a generator see more on query & generators. But, not positive on how this is different from list yet.
  • &gcmtitle=Category:Spells title of the page that's being queried, other ways to do this like id -- not sure yet how this is different from things like parse action and text vs title vs page, is part of categorymembers
  • &gcmlimit=max so it shows all results on one page, APIs look like limited to 500, is part of categorymembers
  • &gcmtype=page so it just shows the pages in the generator category and not the sub-categories, can also filter with file, page, subcat -- or using cmnamespace specifically use the namespace like 14 is subcat, is part of categorymembers
  • &format=json outputs in json so its easily scrapeable
  • &formatversion=2 fancier json with tabs for viewing raw with pretty waterfall version
