Hi Sander,

Not an API but probably relevant, this data stream on media (binary file) downloads:

Subject: [Analytics] API usage advice

Hi all,

as a new subscriber to this mailing list I would like to introduce myself. My name is Sander, I'm a student and I'm currently working on a project using Wikimedia APIs. A Dutch cultural institution has requested a team of students to analyze how their uploaded material is being used. Some examples of what they're interested in is knowing where their material is reused, how many visitors view to pages, if visitors open the media on the page, etc. Which APIs would you suggest we should look at that could have valuable information? Also, is there any general documentation about the various APIs? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Sander
