Revision as of 13:22, 30 August 2021

A space to drop notes about our work along the way. Including our steps and learnings to hopefully turn into a blog post about the API Platform by the end of the project.

Creating a repository

  • Using Gerrit, I placed a request for the repository.
  • After the repository was created, I cloned it.
  • I then cloned the Service-template-node in the Gerrit repository that was created and pushed to master.


Discovering existing APIs

  • Mostly Mediawiki/Wikitech searches where multiple lists of apis/services exist
  • Codesearch searching under "Wikimedia Services"
  • Differentiating between "service" and "api" is ambiguous on a lot of our documentation
  • Extension APIs can be considered part of ActionAPI although not available on all wikis, we may need a way to distinguish what wikis they are/are not enabled on.
