This page says it's possible to authenticate against the query service using OAuth, but has anyone managed to do so programmatically from Python? If anyone has any working code, in any language, I would appreciate whatever you can share. I've asked the full question including my not-working Python code on StackOverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65303450/how-to-authenticate-to-wikimedia-commons-query-service-using-oauth-in-python --FrankieRayRobertson (talk) 13:38, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
For me https://wcqs-beta.wmflabs.org/ throws a 500 Internal Server Error:
Problem accessing /oauth/check_login. Reason: Request failed.
Is this known? Any information when the query service might be back? Thanks in advance for any information or linking to relevant other places! --Marsupium (talk) 00:30, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
