PBWiki gets an API

The guys at PBWiki have just launched their API – with outputs in json, xml and ‘php’ (presumably phpArray) format.

The API calls one can make include:

Wiki Access

The following functions will be used to retrieve information from the wiki.

GetPage – retrieves a given page on the wiki
GetPageHistory – retrieves a page’s revision history
GetAllPages – retrieves a list of all pages on the wiki
GetRecentChanges – retrieves a list of recent changes made to the wiki
GetSiteInfo – retrieves site-wide information, such as the title, skin, language, and description for the wiki
GetSiteStats – retrieves statistics associated with the wiki
GetComments – fetches comments attached to the wiki
DiffPage – returns the difference between two page revisions

Wiki Modification

These functions will be used to update information on the wiki.

AddPage – adds a new page to the wiki. It fails if the page already exists.
AppendPage – appends information to an existing wiki page. If the page does not exist, it is created
PrependPage – prepends information to an existing wiki page. If the page does not exist, it is created
ChangePage – changes an existing page to the page content posted. It fails if the page is locked for editing by a human
SetPageInfo – updates meta-information about a page, such as whether or not it is adminlocked (requires admin access)
SetSiteInfo – updates site-wide information, such as the title, skin, language, and description for the wiki (requires admin access)

DeletePage – deletes a page and all its revisions (requires admin access)

These functions manipulate files attached to the wiki.

SaveFile – saves passed data as a file in the upload directory (may require admin access)
DeleteFile – deletes a file (requires admin access)
RenameFile – renames a file (requires admin access)
GetAllFiles – retrieves the list of all files uploaded

Wiki Alerting

These functions will let you be alerted on updates to your wiki.

RegisterCallback – this function registers a URL to be called on all wiki updates

(The PBWiki site says some of these functions may not yet be available)
