ApiSandbox allows developers using the MediaWiki API to experiment with the API from the browser. It is based on a GSoC proposal by Salil P. A..
Usage[edit]
On a wiki with ApiSandbox installed, go to Special:ApiSandbox. Choose action, format and other parameters. The sandbox displays interactive help for every request parameter. Once all parameters are set, click on "Make request" button. The result will be displayed below in the format you chose. The request URL (and POST data, if needed) can be copy-pasted for reuse.
Installation[edit]
- Download the files from Git and place them in $IP/extensions/ApiSandbox/
- Add
into your wiki's LocalSettings.phprequire_once("$IP/extensions/ApiSandbox/ApiSandbox.php");
