This library features simple methods allowing you to login, logout and do both GET and POST requests. This library should work with most if not all MediaWiki versions due to its simplicity. You can find the full documentation at Example ------- [](#example) A quick example can be found below: ``` use \Addwiki\Mediawiki\Api\Client\Auth\UserAndPassword; use \Addwiki\Mediawiki\Api\Client\Action\MediawikiApi; $auth = new UserAndPassword( 'username', 'password' ); $api = MediawikiApi::newFromPage( 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin', $auth ); $purgeRequest = FluentRequest::factory()->setAction( 'purge' )->setParam( 'titles', 'Berlin' ); $api->postRequest( $purgeRequest ); ``` Integration tests ----------------- [](#integration-tests) Run the MediaWiki test site: ``` docker compose -f docker-compose-ci.yml up -d ``` Run the tests: ``` composer phpunit-integration ``` Destroy the site that was used for testing: ``` docker compose -f docker-compose-ci.yml down --volumes ``` ### Health Score 52 — FairBetter than 96% of packages Maintenance34 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity46 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community34 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity82 Battle-tested with a long release history Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 75.1% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
