Hi Celeste,
Thanks for pinging us about that!
I noticed the edits endpoint has been updated to limit the date range to
about 367 days’ worth of data per request.
The limit on the time range length was placed on purpose to avoid receiving
very long requests.
Requests of several years worth of data can acquire too much of the API
server power and block other requests.
will I just have to request sequences of the shorter date ranges?
Yes, please, sorry for the inconvenience!
Cheers!

Hello!
I had set up some endpoints from the wikimedia API a while back and it has
been running smoothly in my project since then. I noticed the edits
endpoint has been updated to limit the date range to about 367 days’ worth
of data per request.
For example:
https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/metrics/edits/per-page/en.wikipedia/Europ…
vs.
https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/metrics/edits/per-page/en.wikipedia/Europ…
<https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/metrics/edits/per-page/en.wikipedia/Europe/all-editor-types/monthly/20170502/20190502>
Is there still a way to get longer periods of data through this endpoint
or will I just have to request sequences of the shorter date ranges?
Thanks a bunch!
