XTools/API

The XTools features a rich API for much of the data available through the web interface. Out of courtesy we ask you make requests synchronously – as in one full round trip – before making a new request. Please leave an informative user agent in your request so we can contact you if we need to.

Response format
All endpoints will return the requested parameters (such as,  , etc.), the requested data, followed by the   of how long the request took to process in seconds.

Check the examples in the documentation for the exact format of each endpoint. All data is returned as JSON, in addition to other formats as noted.

This API is not versioned. Make note of warnings in the response that will announce deprecations and future changes.

Errors and warnings
Error messages will be given  key. Flash messages may also be shown with the keys,   or. Keep an eye out for  in particular, which will announce deprecations.

To ensure performance and stability, most endpoints related to users will return an error if the user has made an exceptionally high number of edits.
