I've been poking around with this today, and while I can put something together that looks like it ought to log me in I'm not clear on what the correct syntax is to request more pages. After a login attempt where I save cookies to a file named cookies.txt I'm trying the following:

curl 'https://wikieducator.org/api.php' \
    --data-urlencode 'action=query' \
    --data-urlencode 'export=' \
    --data-urlencode 'exportnowrap=' \
    --cookie 'cookies.txt' \
    --cookie-jar 'cookies.txt' \
    --data-urlencode 'titles=Category:Ephemeroptera|...' \
    --data-urlencode 'plimit=500'  # THIS IS THE BIT THAT I'M NOT SURE OF

I'm still getting only 50 responses per request. It is not clear to me if I'm passing the correct limit and my problem is that my user doesn't have bot-rights, or if I just need to know the correct limit invocation.
