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? http://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/pagecounts-raw/ 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-201… | 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 :-) //Ed

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 On Mon, Jan 7, 2013 at 9:55 AM, Ed Summers <ehs(a)pobox.com> wrote:

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(a)pobox.com> wrote:
