Beside the simple clients listed below, there is also available:

• DokuWikiConnector .NET API

A java client for Dokuwiki is available on github.

Example which displays the title of the wiki and the list of its pages:

import dw.xmlrpc.DokuJClient;
import dw.xmlrpc.Page;
 
public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
    String url = "http://mywiki/lib/exe/xmlrpc.php";
    String user = "myUser";
    String pwd = "myPassword";
 
    DokuJClient client = new DokuJClient(url, user, pwd);
    System.out.println("Pages in the wiki " + client.getTitle() + " are:");
    for(Page page : client.getAllPages()){
      System.out.println(page.id());
    }
 
  }
}

This simple example will pull the version information from the given DokuWiki.

• You need to download and install the library XML-RPC for PHP for this example.
• The URL of the DW-Server must be given without the procotol (http://).

<?php
include('lib/xmlrpc.inc');  // or whereever you have downloaded and put the XML-RPC for PHP libraries
 
// create a new client instance
$c = new xmlrpc_client('/lib/exe/xmlrpc.php', 'adminwiki.kreisbote.de', 80);
 
// enable debugging to see more infos :-) (well, not for production code)
$c->setDebug(1);
 
// create the XML message to send
$m = new xmlrpcmsg('dokuwiki.getVersion');
 
// send the message and wait for response
$r = $c->send($m);
if($r == false) die('error');
if(!$r->faultCode()){
    // seems good. Now do whatever you want with the data
    $v = php_xmlrpc_decode($r->value());
    echo "$v";
}

<?php
include('/lib/xmlrpc.inc');
 
$c = new xmlrpc_client('/lib/exe/xmlrpc.php', 'localhost', 80);
$c->setDebug = 1;
 
$m = new xmlrpcmsg('wiki.putAttachment');
$m->addParam(new xmlrpcval("file.png", "string"));
$m->addParam(new xmlrpcval("iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAADAAAAAwC.....<base64 string here>...", "base64"));
$m->addParam(new xmlrpcval(array("ow" => new xmlrpcval(true, "boolean")), "struct"));
 
$r = $c->send($m);
if($r == false) die('foo!');
 
// Output the response object
// var_dump($r);
$r = $c->send($m);
 
if(!$r->faultCode()) {
    $v = php_xmlrpc_decode($r->value());
    echo $v;
} else {
    echo $r->faultString();
}
 
?>

DokuWiki has its own XML-RPC library which could also be used. A simple client using that library looks like this:

<?php
require_once('inc/init.php');
 
$client = new IXR_Client('http://localhost/devel/dokuwiki/lib/exe/xmlrpc.php');
$client->debug = 1; // enable for debugging
$client->query('dokuwiki.login','admin','pass');
$ok = $client->getResponse();
if($ok) {
   $client->query('wiki.getPage','wiki:syntax');
   echo $client->getResponse();
}

Dokuwiki::RPC::XML::Client is simple dokuwiki client written on top of RPC::XML::Client, it comes with a CLI command you can use from shell.

you can also write RPC::XML::Client code directly following this simple example will pull the version information and the list of documents in the wiki namespace from the given Dokuwiki. It also lists all .png mediafiles from the same namespace and its child namespaces.

use strict;
use warnings;
use feature 'say';
use RPC::XML::Client;
use Data::Dumper;
 
my $client =
  RPC::XML::Client->new('https://www.example.com/wiki/lib/exe/xmlrpc.php');
 
my $res = $client->send_request('dokuwiki.getVersion');
say 'dokuwiki.getVersion = ' . $res->value;
 
my $namespace = 'wiki';
my $req =
  RPC::XML::request->new( 'dokuwiki.getPagelist',
    RPC::XML::string->new($namespace),
    RPC::XML::struct->new() );
$res = $client->send_request($req);
say "dokuwiki.getPagelist = \n" . Dumper $res->value;
 
 
# if given and >0 'depth' is relative to the searched namespace and is a maximum.
# setting 'hash' to 1 will put extra load on server.
$res = $client->send_request(
	RPC::XML::request->new( 'wiki.getAttachments',
		RPC::XML::string->new('$namespace'),
		RPC::XML::struct->new( {depth => 2, skipacl => 1, hash => 0, pattern => '/\.png$/' } )
	)
);
say "wiki.getAttachments = \n" . Dumper $res->value;

This simple example will pull the version information from the given Dokuwiki. No plugin required (in the Windows default package).

require "xmlrpc/client"
server = XMLRPC::Client.new( "localhost","/dokuwiki/lib/exe/xmlrpc.php")
begin
    puts server.call("dokuwiki.getVersion")
rescue XMLRPC::FaultException => e
    puts "Error:"
    puts e.faultCode
    puts e.faultString
end

This example demonstrates how to upload attachments:

require "xmlrpc/client"
server = XMLRPC::Client.new( "localhost","/dokuwiki/lib/exe/xmlrpc.php")
begin
    puts server.call("wiki.putAttachment", "wiki/example.png", XMLRPC::Base64.new(IO.read("/path/to/example.png")))
rescue XMLRPC::FaultException => e
    puts "Error:"
    puts e.faultCode
    puts e.faultString
end

var xml='<?xml version="1.0"?><methodCall><methodName>wiki.getRPCVersionSupported</methodName><params></params></methodCall>';
 $.ajax({
   url: "http://<your wiki>/wiki/lib/exe/xmlrpc.php",
   data: xml,
   contentType:"text/xml",
   type:"post",
   beforeSend: function (xhr) {
     xhr.setRequestHeader ("Authorization", "Basic " + btoa('username' + ":" + 'password'));
   },
 });

A Python module for DokuWiki's XML-RPC API can be found at the Python package index and on GitHub.
