The "smwbrowse" API module supports the search for properties, categories and concepts via action "smwbrowse" (?action=smwbrowse) against Semantic MediaWiki using the MediaWiki API and get results back serialized in one of the supported formats. This module is similar to API-module "browsebyproperty"Allows to fetch information about a property or a list of properties. It was introduced with Semantic MediaWiki 3.0.0Released on an unknown date and compatible with MW 1.27.0 - 1.30.x..12

The module supports two submodules:

1. "browse": The object to be searched, either "property", "pvalue", "category" or "concept"
2. "params": The query parameters provided in json-format
   • primary selectors: "limit", "offset", "search" and "property" (the latter only available if "pvalue" was chosen as the value for the "browse" parameter)
   • special selectors: "description" "prefLabel" and "usageCount" (available if "property" was chosen as the value for the "browse" parameter)

Returned results are by default cached for one hour. This time span may be adapted via the "api.browse" or "api.browse.pvalue" option respectively to configuration parameter $smwgCacheUsageSets how the caching behaviour or special pages related to Semantic MediaWiki is controlled.
