Howdy API artists, bot builders, and tool tinkerers! We are continuing to reroute all web API traffic through a common API Gateway. This week, Action API traffic began flowing through the common gateway. Requests from Group 0 wikis are now being routed through the common gateway, and we expect to follow the following deployment schedule for the remaining Wikimedia projects: - 100% Group 0 today (Oct 30) - 50% Group 1 on Monday, Nov 3 - 100% Group 1 on Wednesday, Nov 5 - All remaining wikis ramp up week of Nov 10 This is purely introducing another layer of infrastructure, and we expect the change to be non-breaking and non-disruptive. We are also keeping a close eye out for any anomalies as we dial up proportional traffic. If any issues are observed in your own bots, features, or tools, please file a phabricator ticket to the Service Ops team board <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/serviceops/>. Why is this change happening? As mentioned in the API as a Product Tech Blog <https://techblog.wikimedia.org/2025/06/12/apis-as-a-product-investing-in-the-current-and-next-generation-of-technical-contributors/> published earlier this year and as part of the WE5 objective <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Foundation_Annual_Plan/2025-2026#Responsible_Use_of_Infrastructure_(WE5)> (KR5.2), we are working to consolidate and centralize our API infrastructure. Centralizing API routing will make observability across APIs easier, allowing us to make better data-driven decisions. Having a single, centralized API gateway also simplifies API management, enabling us to continue streamlining and standardizing our API offerings. What’s next? We will continue rerouting non-MediaWiki endpoints through the common gateway in the coming months. Keep an eye out for more announcements here and on Tech News <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News>! Feel free to respond here, find us on phabricator, or add to a on-wiki discussion thread if you have any questions, comments, or concerns!
