This seems like a weird way to use restful URLs. Why not parameters?

Another option would be a single entry point

/top/{project}/{access}/from/{start}{/end}

with support for negative indexes for 'days in the past':

/top/{project}/{access}/from/-30

/top/{project}/{access}/from/-60/-30

as well as full dates:

/top/en.wikipedia/all-access/2014-06-12/2015-08-30

Correction:

/top/en.wikipedia/all-access/from/2014-06-12/2015-08-30

It's getting exciting. :-)

I'd go with choice 2 since it gives more control to the user while offering what the user can get through choice 1 as well.

Question: will we get page_ids or page_titles or both? It's good to have both.

Hi everyone.  End of quarter is rapidly approaching and I wanted to ask a quick question about one of the endpoints we want to push out.  We want to let you ask "what are the top articles" but we're not sure how to structure the URL so it's most useful to you.  Here are the choices:

 

Choice 1. /top/{project}/{access}/{days-in-the-past}

 

Example: top articles via all en.wikipedia sites for the past 30 days: /top/en.wikipedia/all-access/30

 

 

Choice 2. /top/{project}/{access}/{start}/{end}

 

Example: top articles via all en.wikipedia sites from June 12th, 2014 to August 30th, 2015: /top/en.wikipedia/all-access/2014-06-12/2015-08-30

 

 

(in all of those,

 

* {project} means en.wikipedia, commons.wikimedia, etc.

* {access} means access method as in desktop, mobile web, mobile app

 

)

 

Which do you prefer?  Would any other query style be useful?
