Field mapping#

How this endpoint's source fields become Onekey's unified schema. Fields the source lacks come back as null.

Source path	Onekey field	Transform
`query.general.sitename`	`entity.name`	-
`query.general.base`	`entity.url`	`safeUrl`
`query.general.generator`	`package.version`	-
`query.statistics.articles`	`ext.articles`	`toNumber`
`query.statistics.pages`	`ext.pages`	`toNumber`
`query.statistics.edits`	`ext.edits`	`toNumber`
`query.statistics.users`	`ext.users`	`toNumber`
`query.statistics.activeusers`	`ext.activeUsers`	`toNumber`
`query.statistics.images`	`ext.fileCount`	`toNumber`

Caching and freshness#

Fresh for about 30 minutes. Repeat calls in that window are served from cache and are free.
Between 30 minutes and 6 hours the cached copy is still served instantly and marked stale: true while Onekey refreshes it in the background.
If the source is down when a refresh is needed, the last copy can be served for up to 1 day more (marked stale).
A "not found" is remembered for 5 minutes and is free.
The cache is shared across all customers, which is what keeps repeat calls cheap.

What can go wrong#
