API:Data formats/es

Entrada
La API toma su entrada a través de los parámetros proporcionados por la solicitud HTTP en formato  o. Cada módulo y submódulo tiene su conjunto propio de parámetros, los cuales están listados en la documentación y en $ayuda. También pueden ser recuperados a través de.

Codificando
Toda entrada debe ser válida UTF-8, en forma NFC. MediaWiki intentará convertir otros formatos, lo que puede provocar un error.

Multivalue parameters
Parameters that take multiple values are normally submitted with the values separated using the pipe character, e.g.. If a value contains the pipe character in itself, use U+001F (Unit Separator) as the separator and prefix the value with U+001F, e.g..

Whether a parameter accepts multiple values is listed explicitly in its module documentation.

Boolean parameters
If a boolean parameter is specified in an HTTP request, it is considered true regardless of its value. For a false value, omit the parameter entirely. The best way to specify a true parameter in an HTTP request is to use ; the trailing   ensures the browser or HTTP library does not discard the "empty" someParam.

Timestamps
Parameters that take timestamp values accept multiple timestamp formats:


 * Formato ISO 8601:.
 * MySQL's internal timestamp format:.
 * UNIX timestamp format  (número de segundos desde el 1 de enero de 1970).
 * UNIX timestamp format  (número de segundos desde el 1 de enero de 1970).

Timestamps are always output in ISO 8601 format.

Salida
The standard and default output format in MediaWiki is JSON. All other formats are discouraged.

The output format should always be specified using  with yourformat being one of the following:

Response
Unless specified, all modules allow data output in all generic formats. To simplify debugging, all generic formats have "pretty-print in HTML" alternatives with an  suffix, e.g..

JSON parameters
The following parameters can be used with  and  :



Additional notes

 * XML and PHP output formats are deprecated but still in use. Clients written in PHP should avoid using the PHP format because it is fundamentally insecure. It is maintained for now only due to its popularity.
 * There are many conversion libraries and online converters to convert JSON responses to other formats—for example, JSON-CSV converts to Comma-Separated Values.
 * Feed modules like Feed Recent Changes override the standard output format, instead using RSS or Atom, as specified by their  parameter. In those cases, the format specified in the   parameter is only used if there's an error.
