Translations:API:FAQ/9/en

The API is called by sending HTTP requests to api.php. For example, on the English Wikipedia, the URL is http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php ; other wikis have api.php with similar URLs: just use api.php where the usual URL has index.php. If you're trying to access the API on a third-party (non-Wikimedia-operated) wiki and can't figure out the URL of api.php, contact the wiki's owner.
