I don't think this has yet been mentioned: Wikistats has an
automatically-updated CSV file listing all the Wikipedias (and
Wiktionaries, etc.) as well as how many total articles they have, how many
"good" articles, how many stubs, etc., each language has, from English to
Kanuri:
https://wikistats.wmflabs.org/ -> "csv" link ->
https://wikistats.wmflabs.org/api.php?action=dump&table=wikipedias&…
I use this enough that I made a little JavaScript library to fetch this
data, parse it, and programmatically yield a nice JSON representation:

Sorry if I overlooked one of your requirements and am suggesting something
that won't work for you.
