Locating `api.php`

You must know where api.php is to properly configure MediaWiki::Bot.

Go to any page in your wiki. Main Page works nicely.
Click the "history" tab.
Take everything from index.php to the end and replace it by api.php
If you see the API help documentation, it worked! If not, you should ask for help.

Given a URL like http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php:

protocol is http
host is en.wikipedia.org
path is w

Given a more complex URL like https://my.test.wiki.is.silly.net/mediawiki/wiki/2/ohaithar/w/api.php:

protocol is https
host is my.test.wiki.is.silly.net
path is mediawiki/wiki/2/ohaithar/w

See documentation for new() to proceed.
