Hi Anand,
It looks like the results from those two queries are from different
days. The first set is from April 5 and the second is from April 6. For
the results from April 5 in the REST API, you'll want
.
Also please note that the results from the Action API (api.php) aren't
sorted in decreasing pageview order as the REST API's are. You'll need to
sort them yourself. (Depending on the number of results you need, you
should also familiarize yourself with query continuation
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Query#Continuing_queries> as well
as the result limits per request on the various modules you're using (for
instance, 20 for TextExtracts and 50 for PageImages as indicated at the
bottom of the results of your query)).
After ensuring you have the same date and sorting the Action API
results, you should have the same or very similar results. For instance,
looking at the results from April 5, it looks like "Lake Nyos Disaster" is
on top with 497638 pageviews in both sets. You still might see slight
discrepancies between the two sources due to implementation details,
however; for instance, in the REST API endpoint we use a heuristic to
attempt to filter out pages with pageview counts likely inflated by bot
traffic, and so a few pages here and there that appear in the Action API
results wouldn't appear in the REST API list.
Best,
Michael

Hi Team,
Thanks a lot for your support and quick responses.
As per all the suggestions you gave for my query, I found below two
apis which solves my purpose,
But I see both queries ask for todays most viewed pages on wikipedia
but they are returning different results.
Request you to please help me on this.

For the action API I think you're looking for an extra property,
*pageviews*. Maybe something like this:
