I could not agree more. The API implementation has progressed remarkably well over the last few months.
Congrats to all involved!

2-3 weeks? What are you doing, taking /vacations at Christmas/? Unacceptable!
More seriously: the work on the API thus far - the data that has been moved in, the responsiveness around bug reports, the intuitive nature of the interface from a client library POV - has been fantastic. I hope you all enjoy your break :). I am honoured to call you coworkers.

+1 Oliver - User agents tagged with WikimediaBot are tagged as bot - I do agree that our documentation on this can be approved, I'll update the Webrequest and Pageview tables docs to reflect this.
The backfilling jobs for May-July have been paused at the moment, the
plan
is to resume backfilling in 2-3 weeks.

Hey Felix,
To answer some questions in order:
- Bots are automated systems with a Wikimedia specific tag
(WikimediaBot, iirc) in their user agent. We don't expect this to be widely adopted yet because it hasn't been widely advertised. The standard itself is very new, which is probably why you don't see any traffic referring to it in August. 2. The idea is to have traffic no earlier than May 2015 - because that's when the new pageview definition was instrumented (and so the earliest point we have data from) but that doesn't mean all the data has been loaded in yet.

Dear All:
Maybe this question is a little bit too simple, but I did not immediately find the answer in the docs.
How does the API differentiate between the two user agents spider and bot?
I'm asking because for some articles, there seems to be no bot traffic at all, including the main page in August:
https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/metrics/pageviews/per-article/en.wikipedia...
Another, unrelated question: By my recollection, I read somewhere that the data available via the
API
dates back to sometime in May of 2015. However, when doing queries today, the API only returned data starting on August 1, 2015. Is that
correct?
Best, Felix
