General Information

This is the official manual for using Query API.

Attention Query Users. The interface is somewhat hard to use, and needs good documentation. Any contributions are welcome!

  • 6277 - Modify database tables: add revision length to revisions table; add change in length (delta) to the recentchanges table.
  • 6440 - Change indexes on pagelinks, templatelinks, and imagelinks tables to considerably optimize several queries.
  • 208 - API for external access

Credits

This project started as an IRC discussion between Yuri Astrakhan, Tim Starling, and Daniel Kinzler. Tim gave a huge kick-start by implementing the very first property. Later, Yuri has implemented numerous queries and formats, and is currently maintaing this feature. As of July 1st, 2006, Query API receives over 275,000 requests per day.

Initially all of Query API code was developed using an excelent text editor Notepad++, but on July 1st NuSphere kindly donated PhpED - an IDE for PHP with advanced debugging and profiling capabilities. I am very greatfull to NuSphere for their support.
