Wikimedia REST API/zh

Wikimedia的REST API提供对机器可读格式的Wikimedia内容和元数据的访问. 专注于大容量用例，它与Wikimedia的全球分布式缓存基础设施紧密集成. 因此，API用户可以从降低的延迟和高请求量的支持中受益.

REST API及其文档可用于该位置/api/rest_v1/的所有主要Wikimedia项目. 例如，对于英文Wikipedia，它在https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/ .

虽然大多数项目提供的功能与英文Wikipedia上的非常匹配，但也有一些值得注意的例外：

 * en.wiktionary.org offers an experimental definition end point, exposing Wiktionary information as structured data. Support for other languages is under discussion.
