Page media endpoint missing math formula images
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/media/tangent

is missing the images for the formulas embedded in the article, for example:

https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/3c924ec6626c572300b256a28bbb285cc98fe040

On iOS, we cached those images when the user saves the article, so that the full article with formulas is available offline. It'd be ideal if they were added to the items list, and items were given a property to indicate whether or not the image should be included in the fullscreen image gallery (these images would have that property set to false)

Yeah, I sort of just punted on Mathoid images for v1, but since there's a specific product need now it's probably time to get it done.

Hey @JoeWalsh, the above patch is live on appservice.wmflabs.org:

http://appservice.wmflabs.org/en.wikipedia.org/v1/page/media/Tangent

Does that look more or less as expected?

@JoeWalsh I see you removed your comment but if I understood it correctly I thought it was a good one. Not sure I quite caught your point about web clients but it's true that having a flag that can only be false is pretty crappy for weakly typed clients. Maybe the boolean flag should be present for all entries?

@Mholloway thanks to the phabricator spam I came across this ticket again. I'm fine either way, I initially thought it was a bug but I hadn't implemented it properly. This sort of thing is something we should standardize across the APIs, and maybe always populating a boolean field makes the most sense.
