Hi,

I'm trying to edit a page and upload an image using Mediawiki API call.

I've logged in as user. I've fetched the edit token using below code: $editToken = urlencode($wgUser->editToken($salt=,$request = $wgRequest));

Below is the post data I'm passing to upload an image using Mediawiki Api, $imgUploadData = "filename=Wiki.png&token=%2B%5C&url=http%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fen%2Fb%2Fbc%2FWiki.png";

Below is the curl call to execute the api,

$submitUrl = "http://example.com/api.php?action=upload&format=json";
$curlObj = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curlObj, CURLOPT_URL, $submitUrl);
curl_setopt($curlObj, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curlObj, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($curlObj, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $imgUploadData);
$objData = curl_exec($curlObj);
curl_close($curlObj);

return $objData;

When executing the API call its giving the error as below,

<api>
  <error code="badtoken" info="Invalid token" xml:space="preserve">
</error>
</api>

I'm getting the error as "badtoken" token even after sending the proper edit token. Can you please help me out to sort this issue. I'm struck with this for the past 1

week.

Where are you sending the cookies in your curl request?

Was this issue resolved? I am also stuck with this issue and not able to do any progress. I am calling the API from a Java program

You should store the cookies retrieved from the login request, and send them on all subsequent requests
