Change Details

The push notifications infrastructure will connect push subscriptions with wiki user's **central** (not local) ID. We need to ensure that all unread messages from all wikis for a given central user can be gathered with a single API request, and not separate API requests to every production wiki. **AC** [] Document the API request(s) needed to gather all unread notifications from all wikis for a central user account. **Notes** - This may require some looking into the Android code and the existing Echo extensionware. - This runs for the cross-Wikipedia case, but also for the non-Wikipedias. For apps consumers they may only care about Wikipedias, but the non-apps consumers they may care about everything...or may not.

It's necessary to set `notwikis` parameters to `*` to have every unread notification available from a specific User with central id configured, [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Notifications/API | source ]]. Example request: - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=notifications&format=json&notwikis=* The Android app also needs the actual name of the wikis that have unread notifications, e.g. "English Wikipedia", "French Wikipedia", etc., to fulfill the design requirement of showing a message like "You have 2 unread messages on English Wikipedia". Example request: - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=notifications|unreadnotificationpages&unplimit=max&unpwikis=*&format=json&notwikis=*
