MediaWiki API

Get MediaWiki data as clean JSON with one key: 9 endpoints, 1 to 5 credits per call, the same response shape as every other platform.

What you get#

Onekey exposes MediaWiki as 9 endpoints behind one API key: 2 endpoints return one record (data is an object) and 7 endpoints return a list (data is an array). Every answer uses the same envelope (success, data, metadata, error), the cost is reported in metadata.credits_charged, and fields are mapped onto the unified schema so the code you write for MediaWiki also works for the rest of the knowledge & reference category.

Endpoints#

EndpointWhat it doesParametersCreditsStatus
all_categoriesCategories (with member counts) of an allowlisted game wiki.wiki*5stable
all_pagesPages whose title starts with a prefix on an allowlisted game wiki.wiki*, prefix*5stable
category_membersPages in a category of an allowlisted game wiki.wiki*, category*5stable
pageSummary, image and metadata of a page on an allowlisted game wiki.wiki*, title*1stable
page_historyLatest revisions of a page on an allowlisted game wiki.wiki*, title*5stable
random_pagesRandom articles from an allowlisted game wiki.wiki*5stable
recent_changesRecent edits on an allowlisted game wiki.wiki*5stable
searchFull-text search on an allowlisted game wiki.wiki*, q*5stable
site_statsSite name and article/edit/user statistics of an allowlisted wiki.wiki*1stable

A * marks a required parameter. Each endpoint name links to its reference page with the full parameter table, caching window and a recorded response.

Make a request#

This calls mediawiki.page (1 credit, stable). Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your key; sign up, no card. 1,000 free credits cover the open-platform endpoints. Hard-to-reach platforms (X, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, and others marked on their page) need a verified email and a purchased pack.

curl "https://api.onekey.dev/v1/mediawiki/page?wiki=minecraft.wiki&title=Creeper" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Fields you get back#

These unified fields come back from MediaWiki, with the same names as on every other platform. The count is how many of its 9 mapped endpoints return the field; a field the source lacks is null, never missing. 10 platform-specific fields (ext.<name>) come on top, documented on each endpoint page.
