Subject: Can't log in to recent version of mediawiki
Date: Sun, 17 Feb 2019 00:19:45 -0600
To: bug-MediaWiki-API [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Steve Rainwater <steevithak [...] gmail.com>
It appears the MediaWiki::API library is no longer able to login correctly to mediawiki due to some change in the login API. I am able to login to a very old version of mediawiki that I installed locally (version 1.19) but I'm not able to login on any currently supported versions.

I think this ticket can be closed. I was able to log in to the latest MediaWiki 1.33 with v0.41 of this module. Simple test script: #!/usr/bin/perl use MediaWiki::API; use Carp; use strict; use warnings; use version; our $VERSION = qv(0.1); my $mw = MediaWiki::API->new( { api_url => 'http://mediawiki-instance/api.php' } ); my $ret = $mw->login( { lgname => 'Username', lgpassword => 'validpassword' } ) || croak $mw->{error}->{code} . ': ' . $mw->{error}->{details}; carp Dumper( $ret );

It worked for me ok with the previous version (It didn't send a token by default, but when the response requested a token). However I have just updated it (v0.51) to use the new token API calls and it works here ok with MediaWiki 1.35.0 so I'll mark this closed.
