[17:04:02] Feel free to ask questions about the Wikimedia Tech talk: API Portal and Gateway here :-) [17:04:15] Link to the livestream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gedV-OScuQY&feature=youtu.be [17:08:31] Two of those x-axis labels "10000" are the same :p [17:21:33] One api to rule them all ;-) [17:41:30] How does the Foundation feel about APIs that are rate limited and require registration in the context of access to free knowledge? It seems that's restricting free knowledge, not opening it further - regardless of whether it might be more convenient for off-wiki developers. [17:44:53] will there be strict limits per ip on anonymous requests that are significantly lower than developers with accounts and keys? [17:44:54] what will the semantic versioning mean for the underlying MediaWiki code? just adhering to the existing stable interface policy or something more? [17:45:33] I will ask these shortly [17:46:43] If asking a follow up question to that is okay, if there's going to be anonymous access in that way (which is good, thank you!) does that imply that there won't be/will be very high rate-limits on data consumption? It seems fairly pointless to have rate-limited authenticated API queries for consumption, but then allow anonymous querying, so someone could just run queries off multiple IPs/devices (for example, a website pulling data using client- [17:46:44] side JS rather than any server-side pulls) [17:46:53] kinda similar to apergos' question :) [17:47:13] Yes. Naypta let me know if Evan answers your question right now [17:47:24] if not I will follow up [17:47:29] there are a few ahead [17:47:37] thanks srrodlund! [17:49:34] srrodlund: that answers the question, thank you. Either to you or to Evan - will there be opportunities for community participation during the beta period? Q1 beta to Q1 launch seems like a short timeframe to collect comments from stakeholders [17:49:40] Perfect! [17:49:41] kind of related to tgr's qn ... on the parsing team that works on wikitext and generates HTML that has a spec ... we might / expect to make changes to the HTML and this will probably impact the API itself ... how will / should we handle this? [17:50:19] *to clarify: i am talking of changes over time, not a one-time change. [17:50:28] Will ask next @subbu [17:50:44] ty [17:57:00] Thank you srrodlund and Evan! [17:59:20] :-)
