We have decided to officially retire the rest.wikimedia.org domain in
favor of /api/rest_v1/ at each individual project domain. For example,


  https://rest.wikimedia.org/en.wikipedia.org/v1/?doc

becomes

  https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/?doc

Most clients already use the new path, and benefit from better
performance from geo-distributed caching, no additional DNS lookups,
and sharing of TLS / HTTP2 connections.

We intend to shut down the rest.wikimedia.org entry point around
March, so please adjust your clients to use /api/rest_v1/ soon.

Thank you for your cooperation,

Gabriel
