We're still working out how to publish the dataset, I should have been more
precise. We estimate the whole set would be something on the order of tens
of GB. So one option might be to split it by wiki, and that's why it's
nice to have a use case like yours. Would any particular split like by
wiki, by year, etc. help with your analysis? And if you could provide
other details about your work, that'd be useful for us.

Hi Dan,
Thanks for reaching out. I would definitely be interested in the full data
set. How big is the file set and how would we obtain it?
Thanks,
Celeste

Celeste, thanks for writing to the list. Would you prefer a full dataset
instead of querying the API? We are planning on releasing the data behind
the API as a set of flat files, and it seems like that would be more useful
for consumers like you. Let us know if that's the case, and if not we'd
appreciate more detail about how you're accessing the data.
Thank you!

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!
