How to fix "readapidenied" error on mediawiki-api in Java

I'm working on a project which use the mediawiki API and I have this error :

error code=readapidenied info:'You need read permission to use this module.'

INFOS: Could not retrieve Mediawiki Version via API - will assume Mediawiki 1.27 or before you might want to set the Version actively if you are on 1.28 and have the api blocked for non-logged in users

This is my code :

Mediawiki wiki=new Mediawiki(site);
Login login=wiki.login(login,password); //error
wiki.edit(title, content , summary);
wiki.logout();

I know that I have Mediawiki 1.32.1 I tried a lot of variables for the login but I have the same error...

Can you help me to fix this error ? Thanks

Solution

  • I just add 

    Mediawiki wiki=new Mediawiki(site);
wiki.setVersion("Mediawiki 1.28"); //New
Login login=wiki.login(login,password);
