Login with OAuth about mediawiki-japi HOT 2 CLOSED

You might want to look into SSLWiki which also has a separated login method. So having an OAuthWiki extending com.bitplan.mediawiki.japi.Mediawiki and implementing MediawikiApi might be the way to go. At this point i do not understand your Use Case enough to be sure what to recommend. What are you automating that you'd like to use several accounts? For most of my use cases i simply create a separate bot account with special rights (e.g. API access). Giving a lot of users API access might give you extra headaches.

Thanks a lot for your answer. I already have a bot account to be used to automatized tasks. The purpose of this tool is to be able to modify just little pieces of text, mainly to fix spelling errors, but manually from a web interface.

On the other hand, I have debugged and found that, when retrieving the edit token, the current logged user is taken from the cookies set from the previous login. Thus I don't see an easy way of passing the OAuth access token.

So for the moment I will keep my current use of the library and close the question. Thanks again.
