[Wikitech-l] Wikimedia REST API hits v1.0

[Gabriel Wicke]

It is official: The Wikimedia REST API
, your scalable and fresh source
of Wikimedia content and data in machine-readable formats, is now ready for
full production use. The 1.0 release means that you can now fully rely on
the stability guarantees set out in the API versioning policy
. Read more about the
stability levels, use cases, as well as technical background on how the
REST API integrates with our caching layers in our blog post:


https://blog.wikimedia.org/2017/04/06/wikimedia-rest-api/


We are looking forward to your feedback at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:REST_API, or here on-list.


This release was made possible by the hard work of many. First of all,
the Services
team  (Marko Obrovac,
Petr Pchelko and Eric Evans), created the general API proxy and storage
functionality, and curated the API documentation
. The actual end points are
co-designed with, and largely backed, by services developed by the
following WMF teams: Editing (Parsing
 and citoid
), Reading
 (Infrastructure
 and
Web ), and Analytics
. Volunteer Moritz Schubotz and
the MathJax  community contributed the math end
points, and the PDF end point is powered by the open source
electron-render-service 
project. Finally, the WMF techops team
 runs the
excellent caching infrastructure that makes this API scale so well, and
have helped with many aspects from hardware procurement to firewalling.


Thank you all for your hard work!


We are looking forward to continuing to work with you all on making this
API an even better platform for building user experiences, services, and
tools.


Cheers,


Gabriel and the Services team
