Unblock users' names and IP addresses via regular expressions.

Parameters:
regex

The blocked regular expression to unblock (may not actually be a true regular expression when exact blocking is used).

This parameter is required.
token

A "csrf" token retrieved from action=query&meta=tokens

This parameter is required.
Examples:
Unblock "192.0.2.5" (which was presumably blocked with the "exact" option to block only that IP address from editing)
api.php?action=regexunblock&regex=192.0.2.5 [open in sandbox]
Unblock the regular expression "SpamUser.*" so that accounts like "SpamUser66" may be created and existing accounts with such names can edit the site.
api.php?action=regexunblock&regex=SpamUser.* [open in sandbox]
