MediaWiki::Bot

MediaWiki::Bot is an open-source project which aims to create a complete framework for rapidly creating and deploying computer programs which can perform common repetitive tasks on MediaWiki wikis. These clients are typically called 'bots' - hence the project name. You can install MediaWiki::Bot with the standard CPAN toolchain.

To get started, make sure you know where api.php is, then learn how to create a new bot. Once you're logged in, you can get started on standard tasks like:

• Fetching page text
• Editing pages
• Listing category contents
• ...more

There's also an illustrative code example to get you started.

Support options
