Thanks, Brad.  Yes, I was being lazy since the token is always the same.

You should be using the token in the response (r) here, not
hard-coding the current anonymous-user "+\" token.

Re: [Mediawiki-api] Cannot create page

Oh, of course, POST, thanks.  Now it works, after also removing the “r” (raw 
string) from the token since it already has an escaped backslash, and removing 
urllib.parse.urlencode from the parameters.  Here’s the working version in case 
anyone would like to see it:

#!/bin/env python

import requests

baseUrl = 'http://chlamyannotations-test2.princeton.edu/api.php'

params = {'action': 'query',
  'meta': 'tokens'}

responseFilename = '/molbio2/mcahn/temp/createPagesResponse.html'

r = requests.get(baseUrl, params=params)

print(r)
print(r.text)

params = {'action': 'edit',
  'title': 'TestPage3',
  'summary': 'Test summary',
  'text': 'article content',
  'token': '+\\'}

f = open(responseFilename, 'w')

r = requests.post(baseUrl, data=params)

print(r)
f.write(r.text)
f.close()

You'll need to use POST instead of PUT.

[Mediawiki-api] Cannot create page

[Matthew H. Cahn]

Hi, I’m trying to create a page programmatically.  I can get a token back from 
a GET, but doing an action=edit in a PUT does not create the page.  The 
response I get back is the MediaWiki API help page.

My Python code is below.  Can anyone see what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks,
Matthew



#!/bin/env python

import requests
import urllib
import urllib.parse


baseUrl = 'http://chlamyannotations-test2.princeton.edu/api.php'

params = {'action': 'query',
  'meta': 'tokens'}

responseFilename = '/molbio2/mcahn/temp/createPagesResponse.html'

r = requests.get(baseUrl, params=params)

print(r)
print(r.text)

params = {'action': 'edit',
  'title': 'TestPage',
  'summary': 'Test summary',
  'text': 'article content',
  'token': r'+\\'}

f = open(responseFilename, 'w')

r = requests.put(baseUrl, data=urllib.parse.urlencode(params))
print(r)
f.write(r.text)
f.close()
