<p>Updating to match new version of source page</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&lt;languages/&gt;<br /> {{PD Help Page|imported=yes}}<br /> {{Special page}}<br /> [[File:2015-03-16_ApiSandbox_screenshot.png|thumb]]<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;ApiSandbox&#039;&#039;&#039; lets developers experiment with the {{ll|API:Main page|MediaWiki API}} in a browser form.<br /> It was inspired by a {{ll|Google Summer of Code}} proposal by [[User:Salil|Salil P. A.]].<br /> <br /> == Usage ==<br /> On a wiki with ApiSandbox installed, go to &lt;code&gt;Special:ApiSandbox&lt;/code&gt;.<br /> Choose action, format and other parameters.<br /> The sandbox displays interactive help for every request parameter.<br /> Then click the &lt;code&gt;{{int|apisandbox-submit}}&lt;/code&gt; button.<br /> ApiSandbox makes the request to &lt;code&gt;api.php&lt;/code&gt; on your behalf and displays the result below in the format you chose.<br /> You can copy the request URL (and POST data, if needed) for reuse.<br /> <br /> You can preload ApiSandbox form parameters by putting the query string to &lt;code&gt;api.php&lt;/code&gt; in the URL fragment, for example the query &lt;code&gt;/w/api.php?action=languagesearch&amp;search=Maratih&amp;typos=1&lt;/code&gt; becomes [{{fullurl:Special:ApiSandbox}}#action=languagesearch&amp;format=json&amp;search=Maratih&amp;typos=1 Special:ApiSandbox#action=languagesearch&amp;format=json&amp;search=Maratih&amp;typos=1].<br /> <br /> Note that, despite it being called a sandbox, any write requests performed with this extension &#039;&#039;will&#039;&#039; modify the wiki.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Help{{#translation:}}]]</div>
