| api-feed-error-title (talk) (Translate) | Error ($1) |
| api-format-prettyprint-header (talk) (Translate) | This is the HTML representation of the $1 format. HTML is good for debugging, but is unsuitable for application use. Specify the <var>format</var> parameter to change the output format. To see the non-HTML representation of the $1 format, set <kbd>format=$2</kbd>. See the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/API|complete documentation]], or the [[Special:ApiHelp/main|API help]] for more information. |
| api-format-prettyprint-header-hyperlinked (talk) (Translate) | This is the HTML representation of the $1 format. HTML is good for debugging, but is unsuitable for application use. Specify the <var>format</var> parameter to change the output format. To see the non-HTML representation of the $1 format, set [$3 <kbd>format=$2</kbd>]. See the [[mw:API|complete documentation]], or the [[Special:ApiHelp/main|API help]] for more information. |
| api-format-prettyprint-header-only-html (talk) (Translate) | This is an HTML representation intended for debugging, and is unsuitable for application use. See the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/API|complete documentation]], or the [[Special:ApiHelp/main|API help]] for more information. |
| api-format-prettyprint-status (talk) (Translate) | This response would be returned with HTTP status $1 $2. |
| api-format-title (talk) (Translate) | MediaWiki API result |
| api-help-authmanager-general-usage (talk) (Translate) | The general procedure to use this module is: # Fetch the fields available from <kbd>[[Special:ApiHelp/query+authmanagerinfo|action=query&meta=authmanagerinfo]]</kbd> with <kbd>amirequestsfor=$4</kbd>, and a <kbd>$5</kbd> token from <kbd>[[Special:ApiHelp/query+tokens|action=query&meta=tokens]]</kbd>. # Present the fields to the user, and obtain their submission. # Post to this module, supplying <var>$1returnurl</var> and any relevant fields. # Check the <samp>status</samp> in the response. #* If you received <samp>PASS</samp> or <samp>FAIL</samp>, you're done. The operation either succeeded or it didn't. #* If you received <samp>UI</samp>, present the new fields to the user and obtain their submission. Then post to this module with <var>$1continue</var> and the relevant fields set, and repeat step 4. #* If you received <samp>REDIRECT</samp>, direct the user to the <samp>redirecttarget</samp> and wait for the return to <var>$1returnurl</var>. Then post to this module with <var>$1continue</var> and any fields passed to the return URL, and repeat step 4. #* If you received <samp>RESTART</samp>, that means the authentication worked but we don't have a linked user account. You might treat this as <samp>UI</samp> or as <samp>FAIL</samp>. |
| api-help-authmanagerhelper-additional-params (talk) (Translate) | This module accepts additional parameters depending on the available authentication requests. Use <kbd>[[Special:ApiHelp/query+authmanagerinfo|action=query&meta=authmanagerinfo]]</kbd> with <kbd>amirequestsfor=$1</kbd> (or a previous response from this module, if applicable) to determine the requests available and the fields that they use. |
| api-help-authmanagerhelper-continue (talk) (Translate) | This request is a continuation after an earlier <samp>UI</samp> or <samp>REDIRECT</samp> response. Either this or <var>$1returnurl</var> is required. |
| api-help-authmanagerhelper-mergerequestfields (talk) (Translate) | Merge field information for all authentication requests into one array. |
| api-help-authmanagerhelper-messageformat (talk) (Translate) | Format to use for returning messages. |
| api-help-authmanagerhelper-preservestate (talk) (Translate) | Preserve state from a previous failed login attempt, if possible. |
| api-help-authmanagerhelper-request (talk) (Translate) | Use this authentication request, by the <samp>id</samp> returned from <kbd>[[Special:ApiHelp/query+authmanagerinfo|action=query&meta=authmanagerinfo]]</kbd> with <kbd>amirequestsfor=$1</kbd>. |
| api-help-authmanagerhelper-requests (talk) (Translate) | Only use these authentication requests, by the <samp>id</samp> returned from <kbd>[[Special:ApiHelp/query+authmanagerinfo|action=query&meta=authmanagerinfo]]</kbd> with <kbd>amirequestsfor=$1</kbd> or from a previous response from this module. |
| api-help-authmanagerhelper-returnurl (talk) (Translate) | Return URL for third-party authentication flows, must be absolute. Either this or <var>$1continue</var> is required. Upon receiving a <samp>REDIRECT</samp> response, you will typically open a browser or web view to the specified <samp>redirecttarget</samp> URL for a third-party authentication flow. When that completes, the third party will send the browser or web view to this URL. You should extract any query or POST parameters from the URL and pass them as a <var>$1continue</var> request to this API module. |
| api-help-datatype-boolean (talk) (Translate) | Boolean parameters work like HTML checkboxes: if the parameter is specified, regardless of value, it is considered true. For a false value, omit the parameter entirely. |
| api-help-datatype-expiry (talk) (Translate) | Expiry values may be relative (e.g. <kbd>5 months</kbd> or <kbd>2 weeks</kbd>) or absolute (e.g. <kbd>2014-09-18T12:34:56Z</kbd>). For no expiry, use <kbd>infinite</kbd>, <kbd>indefinite</kbd>, <kbd>infinity</kbd> or <kbd>never</kbd>. |
| api-help-datatype-timestamp (talk) (Translate) | Timestamps may be specified in several formats, see [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Timestamp|the Timestamp library input formats documented on mediawiki.org]] for details. ISO 8601 date and time is recommended: <kbd><var>2001</var>-<var>01</var>-<var>15</var>T<var>14</var>:<var>56</var>:<var>00</var>Z</kbd>. The string <kbd>now</kbd> may be used to specify the current time. |
| api-help-datatypes-header (talk) (Translate) | Data types |
| api-help-datatypes-top (talk) (Translate) | Input to MediaWiki should be NFC-normalized UTF-8. MediaWiki may attempt to convert other input, but this may cause some operations (such as [[Special:ApiHelp/edit|edits]] with MD5 checks) to fail. Parameters that take multiple values are normally submitted with the values separated using the pipe character, e.g. <kbd>param=value1|value2</kbd> or <kbd>param=value1%7Cvalue2</kbd>. If a value must contain the pipe character, use U+001F (Unit Separator) as the separator ''and'' prefix the value with U+001F, e.g. <kbd>param=%1Fvalue1%1Fvalue2</kbd>. Some parameter types in API requests need further explanation: |

While we try to avoid it, we may occasionally need to make breaking changes; subscribe to [https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/mediawiki-api-announce@lists.wikimedia.org/ the mediawiki-api-announce mailing list] for notice of updates. <strong>Erroneous requests:</strong> When erroneous requests are sent to the API, an HTTP header will be sent with the key "MediaWiki-API-Error" and then both the value of the header and the error code sent back will be set to the same value.

| api-help-limits (talk) (Translate) | Most API modules can accept up to $1 {{PLURAL:$1|input|inputs}} in multivalue parameters, and can return up to $2 {{PLURAL:$2|result|results}} per query ($3 {{PLURAL:$3|result|results}} for slow queries). |
| api-help-limits-apihighlimits (talk) (Translate) | For users with the <code>apihighlimits</code> right ($4), the limits are increased to $1 {{PLURAL:$1|input|inputs}} and $2 {{PLURAL:$2|result|results}} ($3 {{PLURAL:$3|result|results}} for slow queries). |

| api-help-main-header (talk) (Translate) | Main module |
| api-help-methods (talk) (Translate) | Action API requests may use GET and POST methods. Prefer using the GET method, which allows requests to be routed to faster replica servers and responses to be cached, unless the length of the URL with parameters would exceed its length limit (commonly 8000 bytes), or a module only accepts POST requests. Parameters for POST requests may be sent in the query part of the request URL (like in GET requests) and in the POST request body, and mixing both ways in one request is allowed. Certain parameters such as passwords must be sent in the request body. If the same parameter is sent as part of the URL and also in the request body, it must have the same value in both places. |
