[edit] Purpose
The purpose of this extension is to provide a friendly interface for viewing the API documentation. Eventually, this extension should be made to allow example-calls right from the same area.
[edit] Dependencies
- Depends on the Javascript API client maintained by Wikia.
- The API must be enabled on the wiki where this extension is running (because the extension uses the API to generate the documentation about the API).
[edit] Future plans (where you can help)
- Update the API to return example URLs
- Show example URLs in the results
- Allow example URLs to be clicked to execute the query & return the results in a small panel.
- Allow modification of the URLs which make example-calls so that the user can tweak them in real-time to see the effects.
