MediaWiki Core REST API

Modern REST surface available on Wikisource at /w/rest.php/v1/. Provides page reads (source, HTML, bare metadata), full-text search, file metadata, page history, revision retrieval and comparison, and wikitext-to-HTML / HTML-to-wikitext transforms. Well-suited for integrations that need standard HTTP verbs rather than the action= dispatch style.
