Hello, I am using MediaWiki 1.28.0.
I want to provision new users (create new accounts) in MediaWiki using the API. The provisioning will be driven by a callout from another service (a registry that enrolls and manages users in a project using the wiki). Users do not participate directly in the provisioning. I have set up my client as an OAuth Owner-only consumer as detailed at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/OAuth/Owner-only_consumers I am able to request an account creation token using this code: $oauth = new OAuth( $consumerKey, $consumerSecret, OAUTH_SIG_METHOD_HMACSHA1,OAUTH_AUTH_TYPE_AUTHORIZATION ); $oauth->setToken( $accessToken, $accessSecret ); $oauth->fetch(' https://myserver/w/api.php?action=query&meta=tokens&type=createaccount&format=json', null, OAUTH_HTTP_METHOD_PUT); $response = json_decode($oauth->getLastResponse(), true); When I execute that code the $response is, for example, Array ( [batchcomplete] => [query] => Array ( [tokens] => Array ( [createaccounttoken] => 8f9c1c7c2b38918cb5caac5c87dd2084585bf6c3+\ ) ) ) Note the end of the token include +\ First question: Is that form of the token, specifically having +\ at the end, correct and expected? If I then take that token and execute $createAccountToken = $response['query']['tokens']['createaccounttoken']; $oauth->fetch(" https://myserver/w/api.php?action=createaccount&format=json&name=FooBar&email=foo...@gmail.com&realname=FooBar&mailpassword=false&reason=provisioning&language=en&token=$createAccountToken";, null, OAUTH_HTTP_METHOD_PUT); I receive {"error":{"code":"createnotoken","info":"The token parameter must be set","*":"See https://myserver/w/api.php for API usage"}} Second question: What am I doing wrong when invoking the createaccount action? I am following documentation at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Account_creation but it is not clear to me which parts of that page may be deprecated and precisely how I should provision a new account. I appreciate any insights. Thanks, Scott K
