Client libraries contain code that developers can use to help with common and basic tasks, so that they don't have to write the code from scratch when their projects interact with an API.

This page contains a set of lists, by language, of up-to three recommended client libraries that can be used with the MediaWiki Action API. The recommendations are based on evaluations using.

By 'ing  (  may need to be set beforehand, see Manual:$IP), a script gets access to MediaWiki components and consequently it can call the API internally or use other MediaWiki classes and functions directly, which greatly reduces server load.

Python
Simple Python wrappers for no-abstraction interfaces to the MediaWiki API and basic session handling:
