You should just be able to use the assert function in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Login#Additional_notes
If you are sending a request that should be made by a logged-in user, add assert=user parameter to the request you are sending in order to check whether the user is logged in. If the user is not logged-in, an assertuserfailed error code will be returned.
