Hi Max,
I am using the old api. I went to your link [1] to test the new api in the
Sandbox.
I am getting errors even for the examples like candlemass
url:
/w/api.php?action=mobileview&format=json&page=Candlemass§ions=0%7Creferences
see result below.
Is there a problem with the sandbox or with the api?
Regards
Asher Szmulewicz
