Hello there,
I'm a beginner programmer and am working on a project using Wikipedia views, trying to
reproduce a paper. I was pulling json from
http://stats.grok.se but the last month
isn't updated. I'm trying to get the last 30 days of wikipedia views for several
pages, but the hourly files are 70mb compressed. Is it possible for me to query the
specific data directly through some kind of Wikipedia database directly?
Otherwise in regards to the files (located at
http://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/pagecounts-raw/2016/2016-01/), should they be
opened/accessed in some way? I'm using a high level language so working with these
things sounds like it will break my computer.
Like I said, I'm fairly new to this all so I apologize in advance if these questions
seem silly.
Thank you for any help,
Dominic Della Sera
