Prepare the cxserver for usage without RESTbase
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The API of cxserver is currently exposed through RESTbase. In order to unblock RESTbase deprecation, the services needs and requirements have to be assessed according to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/RESTBase/service_migration.

Note that this API seems to be exposed in two ways: on https://cxserver.wikimedia.org/v1 as well as on all wikis under /api/rest_v1/. The rest_v1 path receives less than one requests per second, while the cxserver.wikimedia.org serves about one request per second. cxsever.wikimedia-org is directly mapped to the backend service.

Given that cxserver's API is already used mostly without RESTbase, the remaining task is probably just to deprecate/remove the endpoints that RESTbase exposes.

Internally - in CX production and in our developer workflows we directly use cxserver APIs and not the RESTBase apis like https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/#/Transforms/doMT.

However, a codesearch like this https://codesearch.wmcloud.org/search/?q=transform%2Fhtml%2Ffrom&files=&excludeFiles=&repos= shows Extension:Translate using the RESTBase.

A code search in github shows more results from external libraries and API wrappers https://github.com/search?q=transform%2Fhtml%2Ffrom&type=code
We had listed the cxserver RESTBase API as unstable.
