In the event of a successful log-in, a cookie will be attached to your session. In the event of a failed log-in, you will not be able to attempt another log-in through this method for 5 seconds. This is to prevent password guessing by automated password crackers. This module only accepts POST requests. Parameters: lgname - User Name lgpassword - Password lgdomain - Domain (optional) Example: api.php?action=login&lgname=user&lgpassword=password * action=logout * This module is used to logout and clear session data Parameters: Example: api.php?action=logout * action=query * Query API module allows applications to get needed pieces of data from the MediaWiki databases, and is loosely based on the Query API interface currently available on all MediaWiki servers. All data modifications will first have to use query to acquire a token to prevent abuse from malicious sites.
