Good news, everyone! The SwaggerUI-based sandbox experience for MediaWiki REST APIs <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:REST_API> is now available on all Wikimedia projects (including English Wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:RestSandbox>) through the Special:RestAPI <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:RestSandbox> page! In addition to offering complete, interactive documentation, the sandbox supports translation (powered by translatewiki <https://translatewiki.net/>) for all endpoint and parameter descriptions, which enables developers to read the documentation in their preferred language. This new sandbox also features downloadable OpenAPI specs.
The combination of interactive sandbox docs and OpenAPI specs were among the top requested items in the latest developer satisfaction survey <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developer_Satisfaction_Survey/2025/APIs#api-wishlist-and-feedback>, so we are incredibly excited to officially launch the new experience! That being said, this is a new feature, and we would love your feedback <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Interfaces_Team/Feature_Feedback/REST_Sandbox> so we can continue to improve the experience. On the linked feedback page, you can see additional information about this project, as well as track progress on issues that we are already aware of. As you engage with the sandbox, please feel free to file phabricator tickets to the MediaWiki Interfaces Team <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/6931/> board for any observed issues, engage with us through the feature feedback discussion page <https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:MediaWiki_Interfaces_Team/Feature_Feedback/REST_Sandbox>, or respond to this email if you see any issues or have additional questions, comments, or concerns. Thanks, Halley *Halley Coplin* (she/her) Sr. Product Manager, MediaWiki Interfaces Wikimedia Foundation <https://wikimediafoundation.org/>
