I would like to know the top Wikipedia articles in music category for a country ( lets say India ). Is there a way I can get access to this data. If this data is not readily available can I get the per-article PV data for a given country, so that I can infer my desired outcome.
Thanks, Prasenjit
Have you seen the Page View Statistics data that is available?

The page counts are not broken out by category, or country, but they do include the project and language. So in theory you can do something like this:
curl http://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/pagecounts-raw/2013/2013-01/pagecounts-2013... | zcat - | egrep '^hi '
To see the Hindi Wikipedia page views for 2013-01-07 08:00. I say in theory because the download server seems to be somewhat slow at the moment (100K/s) so I didn't see it actually work :-)

It would be nice to have the page counts split at least by language. (and it would reduce the load on your machine) please let me know If I could help with the code
cheers, Diego

Thanks for the pointer. It really helps. Also is it possible to get the stats by request's country ( by IP geocoding ). Traffic could be coming from a different country to view a different country's Wikipedia page. Thanks, Prasenjit On Mon, Jan 7, 2013 at 2:25 PM, Ed Summers ehs@pobox.com wrote:
