Exemple

Toute requête POST est un processus en plusieurs étapes :

  1. Connectez-vous, via l'une des méthodes décrites sur API:Authentification .
  2. Demandez (GET) un jeton CSRF .

    L'exemple de requête ci-dessus concernent les wikis qui exécutent MediaWiki 1.24+.

    Pour les wikis qui exécutent des versions plus anciennes de MediaWiki, les jetons pour cette opération peuvent être obtenus via action=tokens avec type=watch (MediaWiki 1.20+), ou en utilisant la requête suivante :

  3. Envoyez une requête POST, avec le jeton CSRF, pour réaliser une action sur une page.

L'exemple de code ci-dessous décrit l'étape finale en détails.

Notes supplémentaires

  • Si vous exécutez le code d'exemple à partir d'un robot, assurez-vous que celui-ci possède l'option Modifier votre liste de suivi mise à true, en allant sur la page Special:BotPasswords.
  • Ce module utilise les jetons CSRF, et non pas les jetons des listes de suivi. Les jetons CSRF sont généralement utilisés pour les requêtes POST et pour les actions de modifications du wiki via le Action API , alors que les jetons de liste de suivi sont utilisés uniquement pour voir la liste de suivi des autres utilisateurs.
  • A la différence de API:Liste de suivi , qui vous permet de lire la liste de suivi privée d'un compte sans vous y connecter, ce module nécessite que vous vous connectiez directement sous le compte que vous voulez modifier.
