README
This is a client for the MediaWiki API. It uses Guzzle web service library. The client API is a custom web service client based on Guzzle\Service\Client
.
WARNING This client is in no way feature-complete! It only implements the API functions that I need at the moment. Feel free to contribute by expanding the json file and adding a test.
Installation
Use composer to install the library and all its dependencies:
composer require "gbirke/mediawiki-api:dev-master"
Usage examples
Parse Wiki Text
require 'vendor/autoload.php'; use Birke\Mediawiki\Api\MediawikiApiClient; $client = MediawikiApiClient::factory(); $parse = $client->getCommand('parse', array( 'text' => "= Wiki = \n This is test text. \n\nSecond Paragraph\n\n== Foo ==\nLorem Ipsum", 'contentmodel' => 'wikitext' )); $result = $help->execute(); print_r($result);
Log in and upload file
require 'vendor/autoload.php'; use Birke\Mediawiki\Api\MediawikiApiClient; $client = MediawikiApiClient::factory(array( 'base_url' => "http://localhost/w/api.php", )); $credentials = array( 'lgname' => 'Uploader', 'lgpassword' => 'my_super_secret_pw' ); // Use magic methods $result = $client->login($credentials); //print_r($result); $resultMsg = $result['login']['result']; if ($resultMsg != "NeedToken" && $resultMsg != "Success") { die("Login failed: $resultMsg"); } // First auth returns "NeedToken", reauthenticate with token if ($resultMsg == "NeedToken") { $result = $client->login(array_merge(array( 'lgtoken' => $result['login']['token'] ), $credentials)); //print_r($result); } // Get an edit token (default value for "type") $tokens = $client->tokens(); //print_r($tokens); // Upload a file $result = $client->upload(array( 'filename' => 'Thingie.jpg', 'token' => $tokens['tokens']['edittoken'], 'file' => "path/to/your/image.jpg", 'ignorewarnings' => true // Set this to false if you don't want to override files )); print_r($result); // Cleanup session $client->logout();
Use Session class to handle credentials when uploading
Since editing is such a common task, you can use the Session class to reduce the amount of code needed for logging in and getting login tokens:
require 'vendor/autoload.php'; use Birke\Mediawiki\Api\MediawikiApiClient; use Birke\Mediawiki\Api\Session; use Birke\Mediawiki\Api\SessionException; $client = MediawikiApiClient::factory(array( 'base_url' => "http://localhost/w/api.php", )); $session = new Session($client); try { $session->login('Uploader', 'my_super_secret_pw'); $token = $session->getEditToken(); // Upload a file $result = $client->upload(array( 'filename' => 'Thingie.jpg', 'token' => $token, 'file' => "path/to/your/image.jpg", 'ignorewarnings' => true // Set this to false if you don't want to override files )); // Cleanup session $session->logout(); } catch(SessionException $e) { echo "Something went wrong: ".$e->getMessage(); }
