Summary: API needs better throttling for expensive queries
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: API
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Currently, I believe the API has little throttling built in (if any). This can
cause problems if people or organizations are hitting the API with expensive
queries at a fast rate.
Bug filed in response to ExternalStorage issues from &rvprop=content|timestamp
being batch queried from the API.
Some sort of sensible options should be implemented to throttle expensive
queries with variables to override the defaults for very robust or very weak
servers.
