# Wikipedia Contributions API

A user's edits with page, revision, size change, comment and tags.

`GET /v1/wikipedia/users/Jimbo%20Wales/contributions?lang=en` returns `data.contributions`, one row per edit. Each row has `userId`, `user`, `temp`, `pageId`, `revId`, `parentId`, `ns`, `title`, `timestamp`, `new`, `minor`, `top`, `comment`, `size`, `sizeDiff` and `tags`. `top` marks the latest revision of the page, and `temp` marks an automatically named temporary account.

`namespace` narrows to one namespace. `from` and `to` take ISO 8601 dates or times, and `from` may not be later than `to`. A window with `from` is walked oldest first from that lower bound; `to`, when given, is the upper bound. A request with only `to` keeps the newest-first order and returns edits up to that time. `limit` accepts 1 to 500 rows and `cursor` continues with `data.page.nextCursor`. The response echoes `name`.

A user who exists with no edits is `found` with `empty: true`. An unknown user is `not_found`.

## FAQ

### Does this include edits to every namespace?

By default yes, including talk pages and project pages. Set namespace=0 for articles only, or another namespace id to narrow the list.

### How do I read a date range?

Set from and to as ISO 8601 dates or times. Date-only values are read as midnight UTC; a time must include a zone such as Z or +02:00. With both from and to set, rows run oldest first from the lower bound to the upper bound. With only from set, rows run oldest first from that time onward. With only to set, the newest edits up to that time come first. A range with no edits is found with empty set to true.

### Why is a user not_found here but found on the user route?

An unknown name is not_found on both routes. A user who exists but has no edits is found with an empty contributions list. Check lookupStatus and empty separately.

### How is contribution paging billed?

Pricing is documented on the operation in the API registry (shown on this page). Confirm on every response with meta.creditsCharged: that field is the billing source of truth. Each paginated page is a separate billed request.
