API:Properties

GET Request to list properties of selected pages

API documentation
Properties are data about a page, such as categories, or content on a page, such as images or links. To request a property, you pass the   parameter of your query a valid property submodule, corresponding to the information that you need.

The page or pages whose data you are requesting are specified either by the  ,  , or   parameters of the query, or via a generator.

Queries for properties are written like so:  .

Property queries always have a limit on the number of items returned. To view more items, append the values inside the result's  element to the original request.

Please see individual property API pages for more concrete examples of how to use properties:



Additional notes

 * Most property submodules can be used as generators, unless otherwise noted.
 * Property query limits:
 * Results for property queries always have a limit; the default limit is 10</>. The results limit can be set as high as <tvar|500>500</> for regular users, or <tvar|5000>5000</> for users with the <tvar|apihighlimits> </> right (typically bots and sysops). Some modules impose stricter limits under certain conditions.
 * If you're not sure which limit applies to you and just want as many results as possible, set the limit to . In that case, a <tvar|limits> </> element will be returned, specifying the limits used.
 * The limit parameter for a given module consists of the module prefix followed by the word <tvar|limit> </>. For example, </> is the maximum number of <tvar|images> </> returned.
