In the event of a successful log-in, a cookie will be attached to your session. In the event of a failed log-in, you will not be able to attempt another log-in through this method for 5 seconds. This is to prevent password guessing by automated password crackers. This module only accepts POST requests.Parameters: lgname - User Name lgpassword - Password lgdomain - Domain (optional) lgtoken - Login token obtained in first requestExample: <a href="api.php?action=login&lgname=user&lgpassword=password">api.php?action=login&lgname=user&lgpassword=password</a> <b>* action=logout *</b> This module is used to logout and clear session dataParameters:Example: <a href="api.php?action=logout">api.php?action=logout</a> <b>* action=query *</b> Query API module allows applications to get needed pieces of data from the MediaWiki databases, and is loosely based on the old query.php interface.
