ApiSandbox makes the request to  on your behalf and displays the result below in the format you chose. You can copy the request URL (and POST data, if needed) for reuse.

You can preload ApiSandbox form parameters by putting the query string to $3 in the URL fragment, for example the query  becomes [#action=languagesearch&format=json&search=Maratih&typos=1 Special:ApiSandbox#action=languagesearch&format=json&search=Maratih&typos=1].
