Forwarding a note from Ashok Rao (cc’ed), can anyone comment on the dumps server returning 503s?

Ashok – we don’t have yet an in-house API to retrieve pageview data, but the Analytics team is working on one: see this thread.

Depending on what you’re doing, http://stats.grok.se/ may also come in handy.

Best,

Dario

Hi Dario,

Good morning. I'm a student at the University of Pennsylvania and I've been trying to perform a few analyses based on Wikipedia page views data. I've written a script that grabs data from the main dump site – https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/pagecounts-raw/ – but run into many sporadic 503 errors (sometimes with the download link, other times with the main page itself). I noticed some of this data might be available directly on Wikimedia servers that can be utilized for research purposes.

I was hoping I could get access to this and appreciate your help.

Best,

Ashok
