API
This page might not be updated to reflect all available API endpoints or functionality.
MediaWiki API
- As the PCGamingWiki is based on MediaWiki, the built-in MediaWiki API endpoint can be used to access a lot of data. Some MediaWiki extensions we use such as Semantic MediaWiki and Cargo also exposes their own API actions through the MediaWiki API.
- If you want to retrieve the Semanic MediaWiki properties (e.g. cover image, developer, publisher, release date, etc) of a page, the
browsebysubject
API action is currently the most relevant one if you know the page name. See this example (sandbox). - The API Sandbox can be helpful in figuring the API out.
- Example (JSON)
