Simple wrapper for the Mediawiki API
Project description
# Python Mediawiki API
This library provides a very simple convenience wrapper around the [Mediawiki API](http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API).
The library allows you to call Mediawiki APIs without having to deal with network calls. It also has authentication support and a few convenience methods.
See http://pythonhosted.org/mwapi for complete documentation.
## Example
>>> import mwapi >>> >>> session = mwapi.Session('https://en.wikipedia.org') >>> >>> print(session.get(action='query', meta='userinfo')) {'query': {'userinfo': {'anon': '', 'name': '75.72.203.28', 'id': 0}}, 'batchcomplete': ''} >>> >>> print(session.get(action='query', prop='revisions', revids=32423425)) {'query': {'pages': {'1429626': {'ns': 0, 'revisions': [{'user': 'Wknight94', 'parentid': 32276615, 'comment': '/* References */ Removing less-specific cat', 'revid': 32423425, 'timestamp': '2005-12-23T00:07:17Z'}], 'title': 'Grigol Ordzhonikidze', 'pageid': 1429626}}}, 'batchcomplete': ''}
