Hi Quim, thanks for creating a phab task. I'll
add it to our project
list as well.
Just to confirm, you are talking about the use of this API:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Main_page ?
I'm not sure, because I still need to learn a lot about our APIs.
The reasoning for this request is simple: we are measuring how many readers
and editors we have based on the activity directly on Wikimedia websites.
However, our APIs allow to access, create, and modify Wikimedia content
through other ways, and as far as I know we are not measuring the volume,
percentages, and trends of these activities.
The goal is to measure the activities performed through our APIs in order
to know
* better numbers about readership and contributors, counting web + API
* any numbers about the use of our APIs, so we can plan better to improve
them and increase their impact on readership and contributions.
