Detailed Description

API module that imports an XML file like Special:Import does.

Member Function Documentation

Evaluates the parameters, performs the requested query, and sets up the result.

Concrete implementations of ApiBase must override this method to provide whatever functionality their module offers. Implementations must not produce any output on their own and are not expected to handle any errors.

The execute() method will be invoked directly by ApiMain immediately before the result of the module is output. Aside from the constructor, implementations should assume that no other methods will be called externally on the module before the result is processed.

The result data should be stored in the ApiResult object available through getResult().

Reimplemented from ApiBase.

Returns an array of allowed parameters (parameter name) => (default value) or (parameter name) => (array with PARAM_* constants as keys) Don't call this function directly: use getFinalParams() to allow hooks to modify parameters as needed.

Some derived classes may choose to handle an integer $flags parameter in the overriding methods. Callers of this method can pass zero or more OR-ed flags like GET_VALUES_FOR_HELP.

Returns:
array|bool

Returns the description string for this module.

Returns:
string|array

Returns usage examples for this module.

Return false if no examples are available.

Returns:
bool|string|array

References array().

Returns:
bool|string|array Returns a false if the module has no help URL, else returns a (array of) string

Returns an array of parameter descriptions.

Don't call this function directly: use getFinalParamDescription() to allow hooks to modify descriptions as needed.

Returns:
array|bool False on no parameter descriptions

References array().

Indicates whether this module requires write mode.

Returns:
bool

Reimplemented from ApiBase.

Definition at line 96 of file ApiImport.php.

Indicates whether this module must be called with a POST request.

Returns:
bool

Reimplemented from ApiBase.

Definition at line 92 of file ApiImport.php.

Returns the token type this module requires in order to execute.

Modules are strongly encouraged to use the core 'csrf' type unless they have specialized security needs. If the token type is not one of the core types, you must use the ApiQueryTokensRegisterTypes hook to register it.

Returning a non-falsey value here will cause self::getFinalParams() to return a required string 'token' parameter and self::getFinalParamDescription() to ensure there is standardized documentation for it. Also, self::mustBePosted() must return true when tokens are used.

In previous versions of MediaWiki, true was a valid return value. Returning true will generate errors indicating that the API module needs updating.

Returns:
string|false
