[16:35:36] Does the Wikipedia API have a rate limit? [16:35:44] I mean is there any request limit? [16:39:40] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Don%27t_worry_about_performance [16:39:43] https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Robot_policy [16:41:19] englosh_: no request limit, just make your requests serially, not concurrently [16:41:55] what? concurrent requests are disallowed?! but why that? [16:42:33] my application is completely concurrent [16:42:35] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Etiquette#Request_limit [16:43:29] Set the concurrency to one then? ;P [16:44:09] It does depend to some extent what you're requesting from/doing to the API [16:44:43] well but I always make a request on user request and to handle multiple requests in different channels I need it to be concurrent [16:45:30] is it that bad to use the API like this? [16:48:48] if it's on user request for like an interactive tool that's usually fine [16:51:19] yep it's an interactive thing with commands and one of those is to request a wikipedia article [16:54:16] that should be fine then [16:54:57] unfortunately, you've got to give us the right information to get the right answer [16:55:35] Reedy: is something still unclear? [16:55:49] No, I'm just saying at this comment: [17:41:55] what? concurrent requests are disallowed?! but why that? [16:56:12] yeah i did that afterwards [16:56:13] Some people come in asking questions like that, and they want to crawl all the pages in a short time [16:56:21] all pages? wow [16:56:34] that's crazy [16:57:14] yeah [17:01:41] Where's the page that shows what version every wiki is on again? [17:03:49] https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/ [17:03:53] https://tools.wmflabs.org/versions/ [17:03:59] https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=wikiversions.json [17:05:18] Reedy: Thanks, it was the second I was looking for. I should bookmark things [17:08:49] Why is g0 showing both versions Reedy? [17:15:11] Because the test wikis are still on .10 [17:15:16] the proper test test wikis [17:16:19] Reedy, ah, I'm assuming that's test. And test2. (Or do I mean the beta infrastructure) [17:16:43] testwiki, testwikidatawiki, labstestwiki [17:16:47] beta is on master ish [17:17:11] Reedy, :) thanks [18:23:13] is there an API for receiving images? [18:23:51] recieving? [18:24:44] no the correct spelling is "receiving" actually [18:25:01] :> [18:25:03] I don't really care, we both knew what the other meant [18:25:05] englosh_: there is action=update [18:25:07] er [18:25:11] action=upload [18:25:42] ah [18:26:24] * Reedy wouldn't necessarily have associated "receiving" as uploading [18:28:52] oh I think I actually can't search for images with a specific search term [18:29:30] search filename or description? or both? [18:32:00] I need to enter filekey, file or url but I when I give an URL at url then it tells me "Upload by URL disabled" [18:32:25] and I don't think I want to enter anything at filekey or file because I don't want to upload anything [18:32:49] Are you trying to push images to the wiki? or get them? [18:33:19] get them [18:33:34] so you don't want upload [18:33:44] no but I thought that's possible too with the upload action [18:33:47] nope [18:33:50] oh [18:34:02] It depends exactly what you're wanting to do... [18:34:08] images on a page? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=help&modules=query%2Bimages [18:34:17] info about a specific image? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=help&modules=query%2Bimageinfo [18:34:34] all images on the wiki? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=help&modules=query%2Ballimages [18:35:05] I want to search with a specific term through all of Wikipedia's image and then receive the URL (the URL that ends with .png) [18:36:11] however I'm not sure if Wikipedia is very good for getting a lot of different images [18:36:15] hmm probably not [18:43:14] Our image searching isn't necessarily the best [18:44:10] Well that's an understatement. [19:22:05] AntiComposite: Behave :P [23:24:15] I could use some help debugging a weird wikitext/lua/wikibase issue. [23:27:47] Issue described at https://gist.github.com/Krinkle/1d0402f47279486c028cbc4337a1f451 [23:27:51] made it as short as I can...
