I was trying to get pageviews data for the Travel + Leisure Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travel_%2B_Leisure

It seems like the data is missing for the month of May on desktop. In particular, this link returns a Not found error:

https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/metrics/pageviews/per-article/en.wikipedia/desktop/user/Travel_%2B_Leisure/daily/20190501/20190531?purge1328419450

The corresponding links for April and June return data, but the last few days of April and the first few days of June are missing:

https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/metrics/pageviews/per-article/en.wikipedia/desktop/user/Travel_%2B_Leisure/daily/20190601/20190630?purge1595833545 (data is missing for June 1 to 5 but present June 6 onward)

https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/metrics/pageviews/per-article/en.wikipedia/desktop/user/Travel_%2B_Leisure/daily/20190401/20190430?purge1328419450 (data is missing for April 25 onward)

The same is true on mobile-web.

I thought it's possible the article was deleted and then reinstated, but the revision history doesn't suggest any changes during the time period, and there is no update on the talk page and nothing in the deletion log.

Any ideas?

I've also noticed the pageviews API occasionally omitting data for a few days for other queries, though a re-query usually works to fill in the missing data. For instance, https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/metrics/pageviews/per-article/en.wikipedia/desktop/user/Alcohol_and_cancer/daily/20191101/20191130 originally returned no results for me but on a re-query I was able to get results. I'll share more information on this in a separate email if I'm able to reproduce.

Thank you,

Vipul
