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.
[edit] Installation

- Add
into your wiki's LocalSettings.phprequire_once("$IP/extensions/ApiSandbox/ApiSandbox.php");
