As far as I know, https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Compare is the only API to get HTML formatted diffs between revisions. That Action API endpoint does not have a "batch" option that would allow a single API request to return multiple page diffs. The Wiki Replicas do not provide revision content data (wikitext), so there is no neat hack to be done there to work around the lack of a batch diff API. I think your main option is making a diff request for each page/revision you are interested in either in series or parallel from your application code. I would love for someone else to prove me wrong on that though. :) Bryan -- Bryan Davis Technical Engagement Wikimedia Foundation Principal Software Engineer Boise, ID USA [[m:User:BDavis_(WMF)]] irc: bd808 _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list To unsubscribe, go to: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
