Ok. So I'm not sure if I should post this or not, but... Once upon a
time, back when I didn't really know how to program, I wrote a bot in
bash for updating an onwiki template for what articles are trending
currently on enwikinews. Code is absolutely horrible and not something
you should follow, but I suppose it is an example. There's source code
at https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/User:Bawolff_bot (API might have
changed slightly since that was written).

[Wikitech-l] Bash API edit code examples needed, please

[Danny B.]

Hi,

a friend of mine is looking for examples of Bash code to edit MediaWiki via 
API (as far as I understood, login, logout, get page text, put text to the 
page (preferrably with custom tag); nothing more (unless needed)) for his 
project of sharing some open data.

He has some other Bash scripts which generate some text which he needs to 
save on wiki. Such text can be provided to the API edit part either via 
pipe, as a variable content or saved in file (that's the preferred order of 
possibilities).

If you have or know about any examples, please let me know (feel free to 
reply off-list with attachments), so I can forward it to him.


Thanks for any help in advance.


Kind regards


Danny B.
