The code below shows how to edit a page, but it can easily be adapted to other actions by reading the [{{SERVER}}/w/api.php API documentation].

<source lang="javascript">

$.ajax({

url: mw.util.wikiScript( 'api' ),

dataType: 'json',

data: {

format: 'json',

action: 'query',

prop: 'info',

indexpageids: true,

intoken: 'edit',

titles: 'Whatever'

},

success: function( data ) {

if ( 'error' in data ) {

alert( 'API Error ' + data.error.code + '. ' + data.error.info );

} else if ( data.query && data.query.pages && data.query.pageids ) {

var token = data.query.pages[ data.query.pageids[0] ].edittoken;

doEditPage( token );

} else {

alert( 'The token query returned an unknown error.' );

}

},

error: function() {

alert( 'The ajax request failed. =(' );

}

});

// Edit page (must be done through POST)

function doEditPageeditPage( tokeninfo ) {

var mySandbox = 'User:' + mw.config.get( 'wgUserName' ) + '/Sandbox';

$.ajax({

url: mw.util.wikiScript( 'api' ),
