It automatically handles cookies and gzip compression so that you can make basic calls to the API in the easiest way possible. It also provides a few functions to make day-to-day API access easier. . To use this module, instantiate a MediaWiki object, passing it the URL of api.php for the wiki you want to work with. Calls go through MediaWiki.call(). A generic login wrapper as well as functions to determine limits and get a list of namespaces are provided for your convenience.
