Use API (tracking) #44

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

Many bugs request API usage or could (probably) be fixed by using API.
Using API for pages is already many many times more efficient than index; using 
API everywhere (on wikis which have them) would make the script more robust and 
faster.

Interesting set of PHP scripts which do some things more than dumpgenerator.py 
for API-enabled wikis (like logs download; interwiki map and usergroups are 
rarely interesting).

As for XML download:

jayvdb> Nemo_bis: there is an export=1 and exportnowrap=1 API params, which 
force the API to provide the same as Special:Export, right down to the bugs in 
Special:Export

Also, his https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/136352 should remove any obstacle in 
using pywikibot.
