If you already know how to individually address each 'thing' (e.g. you fetch the list of revisions for the page first) and the REST API's ToS allow it, multiplexing requests might be possible to reduce the impact of the limitation. If you have to rely on "next" and "previous" links in the content to address adjacent 'things' hateoas-style you're probably out of luck. -- Brad Jorsch (Anomie) Senior Software Engineer Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
