[03:39:16] <nokib>	 Hello,  I cannot Login Wikipedia using Curl command
[03:41:07] <nokib>	 I used the following to obtain login credentials
[03:41:13] <nokib>	 curl -v -c "cookies.txt" -b "cookies.txt"  "https://bn.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=tokens&type=login&format=json" -o "credentials.json"
[03:41:45] <nokib>	 This goes fine and I get my login token
[03:43:44] <nokib>	 Then I use v
[03:44:07] <nokib>	 curl -v -b "cookies.txt" -c "cookies.txt" -X POST --data 'action=login&lgname=MyUserName&lgpassword=MyPass&lgtoken=<my login token excluding +\>\&format=json' -o "b.html" https://bn.wikipedia.org/w/api.php
[03:44:32] <nokib>	 But it returns the HTML page of the documenation
[03:45:03] <nokib>	 I expected a JSON response (login failed or passed)
[03:52:36] <nokib>	 !help
[04:05:44] <nokib>	 !help
[09:18:19] <legoktm>	 Well if you exclude the +\ of course it won't work...
[10:34:18] <nokib>	 !help
[10:36:47] <RhinosF1>	 With?
[10:36:57] <RhinosF1>	 Also don't do in multiple channels at once
[10:37:21] <RhinosF1>	 nokib: 10:18:20 <legoktm> Well if you exclude the +\ of course it won't work...
[10:37:41] <nokib>	 I did not know which is the channel I should consult with
[10:37:52] <RhinosF1>	 Any is fine but stick to 1
[10:38:27] <nokib>	 I included the /+
[10:38:31] <RhinosF1>	 If you're pushing as post data then it's json you probably want
[10:38:43] <nokib>	 Yes I am expecting json
[10:38:50] <RhinosF1>	 Send it as json
[10:38:59] <nokib>	 I tried with json
[10:38:59] <RhinosF1>	 Or use url parameters
[10:39:05] <nokib>	 But no luck
[10:39:37] <RhinosF1>	 What errors?
[10:40:17] <nokib>	 curl -v -b "cookies.txt" -c "cookies.txt" -X POST --data 'action=login&lgname=MyUserName&lgpassword=MyPass&lgtoken=mytoken+\&format=json' -o "b.html" https://bn.wikipedia.org/w/api.php
[10:40:42] <nokib>	 No error is shown
[10:41:07] <RhinosF1>	 I literally just said either use url parameters or send the data as json
[10:41:10] <nokib>	 I got the html version of the API Page
[10:41:20] <RhinosF1>	 Because that's what you're requesting
[10:41:42] <RhinosF1>	 try api.php?action=login&lgname=Blah etc etc
[10:41:48] <RhinosF1>	 Instead of just api.php
[10:42:00] <RhinosF1>	 Or actually send the data as json like you should be
[10:44:23] <nokib>	 curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -D '{"action":"login","lgname":"Nokib Sarkar","lgpassword":"MyPass","lgtoken":"9b.......2930+\\"}' https://bn.wikipedia.org/w/api.php
[10:44:41] <nokib>	 Isn't it Correct
[10:45:03] <RhinosF1>	 That looks better
[10:45:14] <nokib>	 But did not work
[10:45:27] <nokib>	 Event not getting any json at all
[10:46:36] <RhinosF1>	 What output do you get from the api
[10:46:51] <nokib>	 The html page
[10:47:19] <nokib>	 Documentation page
[10:48:02] <RhinosF1>	 Can you try using query string
[10:48:12] <RhinosF1>	 But as an actual query string not as data
[10:48:20] <RhinosF1>	 Like https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=login&format=json&lgname=user&lgpassword=&lgtoken=123ABC
[10:48:34] <nokib>	 OK let me try
