This is a personal pet project.

An ``async`` Python_ client for MediaWiki_ API built on top of asks_ and trio_!

Currently this project is abandoned in favour of pymw_, a synchronous fork of this project that uses requests.

Installation

------------

``mwpy`` requires Python 3.9+!

.. code-block::

    pip install mwpy

Notable features

----------------

- Supports setting a custom `User-Agent header`_ for each ``API`` instance.

- Handles `query continuations`_.

- Handles batchcomplete_ signals for prop queries and yeilds the results as soon as a batch is complete.

- Configurable maxlag_. Waits as the  API recommends and then retries.

- Some convenient methods for accessing common API calls, e.g. for recentchanges_, login_, and siteinfo_.

- Lightweight. ``mwpy`` is a thin wrapper. Method signatures are very similar to the parameters in an actual API URL. You can consult MediaWiki's documentation if in doubt about what a parameter does.
