(+Analytics-l)
Hello Srdjan,
The 1k limit is a hard one: only the top 1000 articles for a given day get
loaded into the database. I added the folks from the Analytics team to this
thread, they may be able to help you, as they generate and expose the data
in question.
Cheers,

Heya,
I asked this on IRC but didn't get any replies so I'm following it up this
way.
I have a question about the newer metrics REST v1 API: is there a way to
specify how many top articles to pull from
https://wikimedia.org/api/
rest_v1/#!/Pageviews_data/get_metrics_pageviews_top_project_
access_year_month_day or is 1k hardcoded? Old metrics data was available
that had the most viewed pages but that disappeared with the change to the
new API.
The reason I ask is because we (
https://endlessos.com) are trying to
rebuild our stale encyclopedia apps for offline usage but are space-limited
and would only like to include the most likely pages that would be looked
at that can fit within a size envelope that varies with the device in
question (up to 100k article limit probably) but the new API doesn't
provide us with the tools to figure out the rankings cleanly (other than
rate-limiting on our side and checking every single article's metric
endpoint for counts).
So the main question is: do we have a way to get this data out with the
current API? If this data is not available, can the "
metrics/pageviews/top" API be augmented to maybe have a `skip` and/or `
limit` params like other similar services that have this type of
filtering?
Thanks,
