This page is part of the MediaWiki Action API documentation.

GET request to retrieve Codex icons, in JSON form, for use in user scripts.

Gadgets do not need to use this API. They should instead bundle the icons directly in the module (see codexIcons option in gadget definition syntax).

Full list of available icon names can be seen at https://mediawiki.org/w/resources/lib/codex-icons/codex-icons.json. This API module returns the same data as the JSON file, but allows selective retrieval of icons.
