While we try to avoid it, we may occasionally need to make breaking changes; subscribe to [https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/mediawiki-api-announce@lists.wikimedia.org/ the mediawiki-api-announce mailing list] for notice of updates. <strong>Erroneous requests:</strong> When erroneous requests are sent to the API, an HTTP header will be sent with the key "MediaWiki-API-Error" and then both the value of the header and the error code sent back will be set to the same value. For more information see [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Errors_and_warnings|API: Errors and warnings]]. <p class="mw-apisandbox-link"><strong>Testing:</strong> For ease of testing API requests, see [[Special:ApiSandbox]].</p> |

| api-help-limits (talk) (Translate) | Most API modules can accept up to $1 {{PLURAL:$1|input|inputs}} in multivalue parameters, and can return up to $2 {{PLURAL:$2|result|results}} per query ($3 {{PLURAL:$3|result|results}} for slow queries). |
| api-help-limits-apihighlimits (talk) (Translate) | For users with the <code>apihighlimits</code> right ($4), the limits are increased to $1 {{PLURAL:$1|input|inputs}} and $2 {{PLURAL:$2|result|results}} ($3 {{PLURAL:$3|result|results}} for slow queries). |

| api-help-main-header (talk) (Translate) | Main module |
| api-help-methods (talk) (Translate) | Action API requests may use GET and POST methods. Prefer using the GET method, which allows requests to be routed to faster replica servers and responses to be cached, unless the length of the URL with parameters would exceed its length limit (commonly 8000 bytes), or a module only accepts POST requests. Parameters for POST requests may be sent in the query part of the request URL (like in GET requests) and in the POST request body, and mixing both ways in one request is allowed. Certain parameters such as passwords must be sent in the request body. If the same parameter is sent as part of the URL and also in the request body, it must have the same value in both places. |
