While we try to avoid it, we may occasionally need to make breaking changes; subscribe to [https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-api-announce/ the mediawiki-api-announce mailing list] for notice of updates. <strong>Erroneous requests:</strong> When erroneous requests are sent to the API, an HTTP header will be sent with the key "MediaWiki-API-Error" and then both the value of the header and the error code sent back will be set to the same value. For more information see [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Errors_and_warnings|API: Errors and warnings]]. <p class="mw-apisandbox-link"><strong>Testing:</strong> For ease of testing API requests, see [[Special:ApiSandbox]].</p> |

| apihelp-main-param-maxlag (talk) (Translate) | Maximum lag can be used when MediaWiki is installed on a database replicated cluster. To save actions causing any more site replication lag, this parameter can make the client wait until the replication lag is less than the specified value.

| apihelp-main-param-origin (talk) (Translate) | When accessing the API using a cross-domain AJAX request (CORS), set this to the originating domain. This must be included in any pre-flight request, and therefore must be part of the request URI (not the POST body). For authenticated requests, this must match one of the origins in the <code>Origin</code> header exactly, so it has to be set to something like <kbd>https://en.wikipedia.org</kbd> or <kbd>https://meta.wikimedia.org</kbd>. If this parameter does not match the <code>Origin</code> header, a 403 response will be returned. If this parameter matches the <code>Origin</code> header and the origin is whitelisted, the <code>Access-Control-Allow-Origin</code> and <code>Access-Control-Allow-Credentials</code> headers will be set. For non-authenticated requests, specify the value <kbd>*</kbd>. This will cause the <code>Access-Control-Allow-Origin</code> header to be set, but <code>Access-Control-Allow-Credentials</code> will be <code>false</code> and all user-specific data will be restricted. |
| apihelp-main-param-requestid (talk) (Translate) | Any value given here will be included in the response. May be used to distinguish requests. |
| apihelp-main-param-responselanginfo (talk) (Translate) | Include the languages used for <var>uselang</var> and <var>errorlang</var> in the result. |
