Purging help[edit]
Is there a way to request the content of a page in the following way:
/api.php?action=query&format=json&prop=revisions&rvprop=content&titles=Foo
Yet i want the content of the page to be update, so for example, if i entered some page, on which i requested the content of Foo, and while i am in that page, someone edits the page Foo and then i request again the content. It seems like the API query doesn't give the updated version, yet i need the updated version. How can i achive that? 87.68.239.228 09:07, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
