Deprecated?
Most of the endpoints say "deprecated" .. are we supposed use them?

- When an end point is deprecated, "it means that it has not been useful to clients and will consequently be removed in the near future." These end points were experimental or unstable before, and have been deprecated as part of a larger clean-up effort in preparation for the 1.0 release.
- So no, please do not use those end points any more. They are about to be removed in early May. Gabriel Wicke (GWicke) (talk) 00:16, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
Service Workers
I would love to learn about your plans for Service Worker support for the API. Tomayac (talk) 17:19, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
- The REST API is primarily targeted at serving the data consumed by increasingly fatter clients, including those taking advantage of ServiceWorkers.
- We are also looking into leveraging ServiceWorkers to improve performance and offline support. As part of this effort, we have done some research and prototyping into a) a node environment for running unmodified serviceworker code on behalf of older clients, and b) streaming HTML transformation / composition tooling. We do intend to develop a PWA targeted at mobile web over the next 12 months which might use some of this research, but expect this PWA to be limited to an opt-in beta feature until at least mid 2018.

Watchlist access?
Are there any plans to make the per-user Special:Watchlist available? Xover (talk) 05:38, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
- It already exists in a different api endpoint (API:Watchlist)? 197.218.88.81 (talk) 10:54, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
