Hi all,
the Wikimedia Foundation's Reading Infrastructure team [1] is preparing to
work on exposing pageview data in the action API [2]. Pageview data is
already available as a standalone REST API [3] but we are hoping to make
access to that information more convenient by including it in the output of
other APIs as well.
This could include information like daily pageview totals for the wiki for
the last X day, monthly unique visitors, list of the most-viewed pages,
daily view totals for specific pages (integrated with other page
information the API provides).
It is important that we understand what use cases to expect when selecting
what information to include and making other design decisions; if you might
use such an API in the future, please leave a comment on the task [4] and
tell us how you would use it and what information you expect from it.
Thanks!
Gergő
