Topic on Project:Support desk

The exact query I stumbled on is but the example from API:Users is similar.

Behavior I expected: query returns the block information for the user (block date, reason, expiry time etc.) if user is currently blocked. (12.54.29.3 is blocked on en-wp.) This is what happens with a logged-in user (see e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=users&ususers=Dananadan&usprop=blockinfo).

Real behavior: The query returns an "invalid" field and does not display the block info.

EDIT : example output

{ "batchcomplete": "", "query": { "users": [ { "name": "12.54.29.3", "invalid": "" } ] } }

Is this normal/desired? If so, how can one recover the block info for an IP editor on en-wp?

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Version, the Mediawiki version is 1.30.0-wmf.5 (2802709)

EDIT : tested from a different computer with a different browser (Chrome instead of Firefox). Same thing happens.

It works for me. Maybe if the user doing the request is blocked, it doesn't have permissions to display the block information? (which I find weird)

@Tigraan API:Users doesn't seem to support getting info for IP addresses. However, you can get block info for an IP address via API:Blocks. Here's the latest block entry for the IP you specified: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=blocks&bkip=12.54.29.3
