[10:33:59] <parth_>	 india
[10:34:11] <parth_>	 i want api interface from weekipedia
[15:39:59] <dbrant>	 mdholloway: o/
[15:40:10] <dbrant>	 mdholloway: up for quick batcave about compilation caching?
[15:40:17] <mdholloway>	 sure
[15:40:22] <mdholloway>	 omw...
[16:28:28] <coreyfloyd>	 mdholloway: is the android app looking at a user’s permssions to see if they can edit an article?
[16:29:08] <mdholloway>	 coreyfloyd: yeah, it checks permission groups (e.g., autoconfirmed).  are you seeing anything weird?
[16:29:27] <coreyfloyd>	 mdholloway: no… just figuring out some API stuff
[16:29:33] <coreyfloyd>	 hanks
[16:29:49] <mdholloway>	 no problem!
[16:30:52] <coreyfloyd>	 mdholloway: one other question… what API are you using to get the permission groups?
[16:33:43] <mdholloway>	 coreyfloyd: here's the call we use: w/api.php?action=query&format=json&formatversion=2&meta=userinfo&list=users&usprop=implicitgroups
[16:33:57] <mdholloway>	 usprop=implicitgroups gets the implicit groups for the logged in user
[16:34:04] <coreyfloyd>	 mdholloway: thanks - super helpful!
[16:34:19] <mdholloway>	 coreyfloyd: the class is https://github.com/wikimedia/apps-android-wikipedia/blob/master/app/src/main/java/org/wikipedia/login/UserExtendedInfoClient.java
[16:34:32] <mdholloway>	 (called during the login flow)
[16:35:33] <coreyfloyd>	 mdholloway: got it - thanks for the link
[16:40:12] * mdholloway thinks there's actually a bug in that code...
[16:41:08] <mdholloway>	 also i'm not sure why we just check implicitgroups rather than groups|implicitgroups, but based on some quick testing it might be redundant
[16:43:47] <coreyfloyd>	 mdholloway: lol… I’ll have to peek at the docs and see whats up
[16:49:50] <coreyfloyd>	 mdholloway: looks like groups should be a superset of implicitgroups FWIW
[16:50:19] <coreyfloyd>	 Implicit groups looks to only return groups that a user is “automatically” a member of - whatever that means
[16:50:22] <mdholloway>	 yeah.  not sure why implicitgroups is used here, looking for discussion...
[16:53:06] <coreyfloyd>	 mdholloway: you don't have to worry about it for me… but just a heads up for you
[16:55:52] <mdholloway>	 ah ok, i figured out my other point of confusion
[16:56:02] <mdholloway>	 i think that query could be simplified a bit but it isn't critical
[16:56:59] <mdholloway>	 i thought it had a typo and still worked for some bizarre reason, but it doesn't ;)
[17:14:56] * pnorman is home
[18:19:39] <mhurd>	 niedzielski: JoshM: reets_afk: climadeo: hey all i'm pausing on this https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T171355 based on our chat earlier. lemme know how you'd like to handle it :)
[18:19:58] <niedzielski>	 okey dokey
[19:42:58] <bearND>	 mdholloway: fyi, there's a simple bump patch https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/367468/ in case you are around
[19:43:28] <mdholloway>	 bearND: bumped!
[19:43:37] <bearND>	 ty
[19:44:07] <mdholloway>	 i'll take a minute to double-check the app accept: headers while i'm at it
[19:45:37] <bearND>	 mdholloway: I think the disambiguation flag might be useful for the Android app, too
[20:28:04] <jcasariego>	 mdholloway: Luckily I read your message, because I was about to delete how to get a page summary for a given title :D
[20:28:23] <mdholloway>	 jcasariego: ah, i'm glad i took another look!
[20:28:55] <jcasariego>	 mdholloway: yes, thanks!
[21:23:02] <mhurd>	 niedzielski: hey have a couple minutes for batcave?
[21:23:37] <niedzielski>	 omw
[22:20:33] <bearND>	 mdholloway|bbl: coreyfloyd : following up wrt your earlier discussion about getting group membership info. The earlier API example was missing the user name (parameters ususers) 
[22:20:33] <bearND>	  for list=users (for an example user named "A"): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox#action=query&format=json&list=users&meta=userinfo&formatversion=2&usprop=implicitgroups&ususers=A
[22:20:52] <bearND>	 both implicitgroups and groups seem to return the same info
[23:02:25] <Reedy>	 implicit means groups you're automatically in
[23:35:28] <coreyfloyd>	 bearND: thanks for the update
