Subscribe to [https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-api-announce/ 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]]. <strong>Testing:</strong> For ease of testing API requests, see [[Special:ApiSandbox]]. |

| apihelp-main-param-maxlag (talk) (Translate) | Maximum lag can be used when MediaWiki is installed on a database replicated cluster. To save actions causing any more site replication lag, this parameter can make the client wait until the replication lag is less than the specified value. In case of excessive lag, error code <samp>maxlag</samp> is returned with a message like <samp>Waiting for $host: $lag seconds lagged</samp>.<br />See [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Maxlag_parameter|Manual: Maxlag parameter]] for more information. |
| apihelp-main-param-origin (talk) (Translate) | When accessing the API using a cross-domain AJAX request (CORS), set this to the originating domain. This must be included in any pre-flight request, and therefore must be part of the request URI (not the POST body). For authenticated requests, this must match one of the origins in the <code>Origin</code> header exactly, so it has to be set to something like <kbd>https://en.wikipedia.org</kbd> or <kbd>https://meta.wikimedia.org</kbd>. If this parameter does not match the <code>Origin</code> header, a 403 response will be returned. If this parameter matches the <code>Origin</code> header and the origin is whitelisted, the <code>Access-Control-Allow-Origin</code> and <code>Access-Control-Allow-Credentials</code> headers will be set. For non-authenticated requests, specify the value <kbd>*</kbd>. This will cause the <code>Access-Control-Allow-Origin</code> header to be set, but <code>Access-Control-Allow-Credentials</code> will be <code>false</code> and all user-specific data will be restricted. |
| apihelp-main-param-requestid (talk) (Translate) | Any value given here will be included in the response. May be used to distinguish requests. |
| apihelp-main-param-responselanginfo (talk) (Translate) | Include the languages used for <var>uselang</var> and <var>errorlang</var> in the result. |
