The Wikimedia API Portal is a wiki site currently 'under construction'. The API Portal is a central place to interact with the Wikimedia API served through api.wikimedia.org. You can explore APIs, read documentation, and manage API keys. The API Portal is maintained by the Wikimedia Foundation.

Contributing

We welcome contributions to the API Portal. If you're a developer or documentation writer and would like to contribute a code sample or tutorial, please leave a comment on the Contributing discussion page. Currently, editing pages in the API Portal is restricted to the documentation editors group. This is due to limited resources for patrolling during the 2020-2021 experimental phase of the API Portal. We look forward to opening the API Portal to traditional editing in the future.

Roadmap

Following an official launch, we'll be looking into enabling editing and translation for all editors, developing an API sandbox, and exploring strategies for documentation automation. To learn more, visit us on our task management system, Phabricator.

Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (WMF), founded 20 June 2003, is the wiki company and non-profit charitable organization[1] responsible for a very large number (over 900 in total) of very active collaborative user-generated wiki sites, which are grouped together by primary subject and known as a 'project'; as well as the wiki engine software initially developed by themselves, known as MediaWiki. The Wikimedia Foundations' major wiki projects started with Wikipedia (encyclopedia), and subsequently expanded to include Wiktionary (dictionary and thesaurus), Wikiquote (quotations), Wikibooks (open content textbooks), Wikisource (free content primary-source and secondary-source texts), Wikinews (news source), Wikiversity (open learning community), Wikispecies (free species directory), and many others as listed below. Most of these 'projects' have separate wiki site versions written in many different languages. There is also the Wikimedia Commons (shared multilingual repository for documents, images, videos, and other media and text files), and the Wikimedia Meta-Wiki (multilingual coordination of issues common to all Wikimedia projects). The Wikimedia Foundations' global reach is nurtured in its Incubator, where all new language versions for all projects are initiated and developed before being launched as a new separate wiki site. The Foundations' most recent major multi-language wiki project, Wikivoyage (a 'travelpedia'), was inducted to WMF in late 2012 (having being independently established in 2006). Also launched in 2012 was Wikidata (a major multilingual central space knowledge base for structured data used on all WMF projects). The newest WMF project is Wikifunctions, launched in mid 2023, is a library of code functions in many different programming languages.

Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. is a member of the Open Source Initiative (OSI). Furthermore, the Wikimedia Foundation is a United States 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, granted April 2005, and headquartered at 1 Montgomery Street, Suite 1600, San Francisco County, State of California 94104, United States of America.[2]
