Usage example

Create a new Lua module on your MediaWiki with a content like:

local p = {}

function p.test()
  return mw.api.actionApiCall{
      action = 'query',
      meta = 'userinfo'
  }
end

return p

Try to call the main method in debug console:

mw.logObject(p.test())

   table#1 {
       ["batchcomplete"] = true,
       ["query"] = table#2 {
           ["userinfo"] = table#3 {
               ["id"] = 1,
               ["name"] = "Niko",
           },
       },
   }
