A MediaWiki client library in Rust

Introduction

This crate lets you interact with a MediaWiki API service. To establish a connection to a MediaWiki API, use Api (async) or ApiSync. Optionally, log in, as a bot or via OAuth2 (recommended). You can then query the API directly via get_query_api_json and similar methods. You can get an edit token via get_edit_token. Alternatively, use the high-level ActionApi and ActionApiQuery structs to interact with the API. All MediaWiki and Wikibase API actions are supported.

Examples

Get all categories of "Albert Einstein" on English Wikipedia

use mediawiki::prelude::*;

let api = Api::new("https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php").await.unwrap();

let result = ActionApiQuery::categories()
    .cllimit(500)
    .titles(&["Albert Einstein"])
    .run(&api)
    .await
    .unwrap();

let categories: Vec<&str> = result["query"]["pages"]
    .as_object()
    .unwrap()
    .values()
    .flat_map(|page| {
        page["categories"]
            .as_array()
            .unwrap_or(&vec![])
            .iter()
            .filter_map(|c| c["title"].as_str())
    })
    .collect();

dbg!(&categories);

Edit the Wikimedia Sandbox (as a bot)

use mediawiki::prelude::*;

let mut api = Api::new("https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php").await.unwrap();
api.login("MY BOT USER NAME", "MY BOT PASSWORD").await.unwrap();

let token = api.get_edit_token().await.unwrap();

let res = ActionApi::edit()
    .title("Wikimedia:Sandbox")
    .bot(true)
    .text("Hello from the MediaWiki Rust client!")
    .summary("test edit")
    .token(&token)
    .run(&api)
    .await
    .unwrap();

dbg!(res);

Edit via OAuth

use mediawiki::prelude::*;

let json = serde_json::json!({"g_consumer_key":"YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY","g_token_key":"YOUR_TOKEN_KEY"});
let oauth = mediawiki::api::OAuthParams::new_from_json(&json);
let mut api = Api::new("https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php").await.unwrap();
api.set_oauth(Some(oauth));

// Now use ActionApi or ActionApiQuery as normal; OAuth is applied automatically.
let token = api.get_edit_token().await.unwrap();
let res = ActionApi::edit()
    .title("Wikimedia:Sandbox")
    .text("Hello from the MediaWiki Rust client!")
    .summary("test edit via OAuth")
    .token(&token)
    .run(&api)
    .await
    .unwrap();

Query Wikidata using SPARQL

use mediawiki::prelude::*;

// Will determine the SPARQL API URL via site info data
let api = Api::new("https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php").await.unwrap();
let res = api.sparql_query(
    "SELECT ?q ?qLabel ?fellow_id { ?q wdt:P31 wd:Q5 ; wdt:P6594 ?fellow_id . \
     SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language '[AUTO_LANGUAGE],en'. } }"
).await.unwrap();
println!("{}", serde_json::to_string_pretty(&res).unwrap());
