Apiunto
=======

[](#apiunto)

Apiunto lets MediaWiki templates pull live data from REST APIs. Configure an API source once in `LocalSettings.php`, then fetch from it in Lua with `mw.ext.Apiunto.fetch()`. Responses are cached automatically, so repeated lookups don't re-hit the upstream API.

[![CI](https://github.com/StarCitizenTools/mediawiki-extensions-Apiunto/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/StarCitizenTools/mediawiki-extensions-Apiunto/actions/workflows/ci.yml)

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- MediaWiki 1.43 or later
- PHP 8.1 or later
- [Scribunto](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Scribunto) (hard dependency)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Clone or download this repository into your `extensions/` directory, then load it in `LocalSettings.php`:

```
wfLoadExtension( 'Apiunto' );

$wgApiuntoSources = [
    'StarCitizenWikiAPI' => [
        'baseUrl' => 'https://api.star-citizen.wiki/api/',
        'token' => '', // optional
        'timeout' => 5, // optional, default 5
        'cacheDuration' => 3600, // optional, default 86400
    ],
];
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Lua

[](#lua)

```
local api = mw.ext.Apiunto

-- Request data for the Greycat Industrial ROC
-- Docs: https://docs.star-citizen.wiki/v2
-- Output: https://api.star-citizen.wiki/api/v2/vehicles/ROC
local roc = api.fetch( 'StarCitizenWikiAPI', 'v2/vehicles/ROC' )
```

`fetch( source, uri, args )` takes:

- **`source`** — a source name from `$wgApiuntoSources`
- **`uri`** — the endpoint path to request
- **`args`** *(optional)* — a table of query parameters to append. Array values are joined with commas; empty values are dropped.

```
-- Resolves to v2/vehicles?manufacturer=AEGS&limit=10
local ships = api.fetch( 'StarCitizenWikiAPI', 'v2/vehicles', {
    manufacturer = 'AEGS',
    limit = 10,
} )
```

Configurations
--------------

[](#configurations)

VariableDefaultDescription`$wgApiuntoSources``[]`An array of API sources. Each source accepts `baseUrl`, and optional `token`, `timeout` (seconds, default `5`), and `cacheDuration` (seconds, default `86400`).`$wgApiuntoEnableCache``true`Whether to cache API responses.Caching
-------

[](#caching)

Each response is cached for its source's `cacheDuration`. Purging a page (`action=purge`) clears the Apiunto responses cached for it, and a page's information page (`action=info`) shows the current cache status, URL, and time remaining.

To purge the entire cache from the command line:

```
php maintenance/run.php extensions/Apiunto/maintenance/purgeCache.php
```

Add `--dry-run` to preview what would be purged without deleting anything.
