[06:58:57] <legoktm>	 That_Guy977: it depends on what data you're getting, can you be more specific?
[06:59:15] <legoktm>	 and yes, if your requests are directly intended for users who are waiting on the response, skip maxlag
[06:59:27] <That_Guy977>	 just data from pages, from a specific wiki (hololive.wiki)
[06:59:32] <That_Guy977>	 no editing, just GET
[07:00:01] <That_Guy977>	 well, i don't really have a "direct intent", since I'm making more of a general library
[07:02:12] <legoktm>	 the Action API (api.php) is better for getting a bunch of different kinds of data in minimal requests and is very robust and fully featured. The REST API is somewhat newer and doesn't yet have ways to get everything from it. So I think it depends on what specifically you want to do
[07:02:34] <That_Guy977>	 I think I'll go with the action api for now then, thanks
[07:03:56] <legoktm>	 btw, #mediawiki is probably a better channel for questions like these, this channel is mostly used for MediaWiki development itself :)
[07:04:17] <That_Guy977>	 ah ok, my bad
[07:04:24] <That_Guy977>	 I'll go ask about the maxlag thing there
[07:04:39] <That_Guy977>	 thanks
