Wikiwiki

A Ruby client library and command-line interface for the Wikiwiki REST API.

Overview

This gem provides both a Ruby library and CLI tool to interact with Wikiwiki wikis.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem "wikiwiki"

And then execute:

bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

gem install wikiwiki

Authentication

Before using the API, enable REST API access in your wiki's admin panel.

Password Authentication

auth = Wikiwiki::Auth.password(password: "your_admin_password")

API Key Authentication

auth = Wikiwiki::Auth.api_key(api_key_id: "your_api_key_id", secret: "your_secret")

Token Authentication

A JWT token obtained from a previous authentication can be reused within its validity period:

auth = Wikiwiki::Auth.token(token: "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9...")

Usage

Command Line Interface

The wikiwiki command provides access to all API operations:

# Set credentials via environment variables (optional)
export WIKIWIKI_WIKI_ID=your-wiki-id
export WIKIWIKI_PASSWORD=your-password
# or
export WIKIWIKI_API_KEY_ID=your-api-key-id
export WIKIWIKI_SECRET=your-secret
# or use a pre-obtained token
export WIKIWIKI_TOKEN=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9...

# Obtain a token for later use
wikiwiki auth --wiki-id=your-wiki-id --password=your-password
# or combine with export
export WIKIWIKI_TOKEN=$(wikiwiki auth --wiki-id=your-wiki-id --password=your-password)

# List pages
wikiwiki page list

# Show page metadata
wikiwiki page show FrontPage

# Download page content
wikiwiki page get FrontPage
wikiwiki page get FrontPage frontpage.txt

# Upload/update page (from stdin or file)
wikiwiki page put TestPage < content.txt
wikiwiki page put TestPage content.txt

# Delete page
wikiwiki page delete TestPage

# List attachments
wikiwiki attachment list FrontPage

# Show attachment metadata
wikiwiki attachment show FrontPage logo.png

# Download attachment
wikiwiki attachment get FrontPage logo.png
wikiwiki attachment get FrontPage logo.png --directory downloads/

# Upload attachment (max 512 KiB)
wikiwiki attachment put FrontPage image.png
wikiwiki attachment put FrontPage local.png --name remote.png

# Delete attachment
wikiwiki attachment delete FrontPage logo.png

# Use --force to overwrite existing files/attachments
wikiwiki page get FrontPage existing.txt --force
wikiwiki attachment put FrontPage logo.png --force

# Note: Attachment overwrite with --force is not atomic.
# First attempts to upload; if it fails due to conflict (file exists),
# deletes the existing file and retries the upload.
# If retry fails, the attachment will be lost.

# Authentication via command line (overrides environment variables)
wikiwiki --wiki-id=your-wiki-id --password=your-password page list
wikiwiki --wiki-id=your-wiki-id --api-key-id=id --secret=secret page list
wikiwiki --wiki-id=your-wiki-id --token=eyJ... page list

# JSON output for automation
wikiwiki page list --json
wikiwiki attachment show FrontPage logo.png --json

# Verbose and debug modes
wikiwiki page list --verbose
wikiwiki page list --debug

Security Note for Bulk Downloads:

When automating bulk downloads of pages or attachments using page/attachment names from the API, be aware that these names may contain path traversal sequences (e.g., ../../../etc/passwd). Always validate or sanitize names before using them as file paths:

# Bad: Direct use of API-provided names in shell scripts
for name in $(wikiwiki page list --json | jq -r '.[]'); do
  wikiwiki page get "$name" "$name.txt"  # UNSAFE if name contains ../
done

# Good: Sanitize names in your automation script
for name in $(wikiwiki page list --json | jq -r '.[]'); do
  safe_name=$(basename "$name")  # Remove directory components
  wikiwiki page get "$name" "$safe_name.txt"
done

Ruby Library

Basic example using the library:

require "wikiwiki"

# Initialize with authentication
auth = Wikiwiki::Auth.password(password: "admin_password")
wiki = Wikiwiki::Wiki.new(wiki_id: "your-wiki-id", auth:)

# Obtain and reuse authentication token
token = wiki.token
# Save token for later use...

# Later, use the saved token
auth = Wikiwiki::Auth.token(token: token)
wiki = Wikiwiki::Wiki.new(wiki_id: "your-wiki-id", auth:)

# List all page names
page_names = wiki.page_names
# => ["FrontPage", "SideBar", ...]

# Read a page
page = wiki.page(page_name: "FrontPage")
puts page.source
puts page.timestamp

# Update a page
wiki.update_page(page_name: "TestPage", source: "TITLE:Test\n# Hello World\n")

# Delete a page
wiki.delete_page(page_name: "TestPage")

# List attachment names
attachment_names = wiki.attachment_names(page_name: "FrontPage")

# Download an attachment
attachment = wiki.attachment(page_name: "FrontPage", attachment_name: "logo.png")
File.binwrite("logo.png", attachment.content)
# Note: If using attachment.name as filename, validate it first to prevent directory traversal attacks

# Upload an attachment
content = File.binread("image.png")
wiki.add_attachment(page_name: "FrontPage", attachment_name: "image.png", content:)

# Delete an attachment
wiki.delete_attachment(page_name: "FrontPage", attachment_name: "image.png")
