WikiMedia recent changes DDP API

This site provides a Meteor DDP API to the stream of recent changes on all WikiMedia wikis (of which Wikipedia is the most known). Use DDP.connect to connect to the https://wikimedia.meteorapp.com/ endpoint and subscribe to the mediawiki-stream publish endpoint. The publish endpoint accepts the following arguments:

selector

MongoDB selector to filter the documents.

fields (optional, default {})

MongoDB fields specification to include or exclude fields.

includeCached (optional, default false)

Normally, publish endpoint is sending only documents for changes made after the subscription time, in real-time, as new changes are made. If includeCached is set to true, the publish endpoint will send first all matched documents from the internal cache of recent changes.

The publish endpoint adds to documents to the mediawiki_stream collection. It removes them after 60 seconds. If you want to retain documents on the client side, only observe adding of documents and copy them to a local collection. Be careful about the size of your local collection, though. It can grow fast.

If you are not using Meteor to connect to the DDP API, there are various DDP clients you can use instead.
