Good news indeed! Does this include metrics for articles within a category (thinking here
specifically of the categories related to GLAM content partners) or do we stick with
BaGLAMa 2 for that?

Hi everybody,
Just in time for the holidays, we're announcing the addition of Media Requests to our
metrics catalog. Over the last few months we've been working on a dataset offering
request numbers for every single image, audio, video and document in the Wiki universe,
since 2015.
This means we have 3 new metrics available in the Analytics Query Service:
* Media requests per referrer: e.g. how many images, audio, videos... have been accessed
from English Wikipedia in the last month? 73 billion for November
<http://stats.wikimedia.org/v2/#/en.wikipedia.org/content/total-mediarequests/normal%7Cbar%7C2-year%7C~total%7Cmonthly>
.
* Media requests per file: e.g. how many hits did this cool painting
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_tree#/media/File:Yggdrasil.jpg> get in
November? The answer is 483,791 hits
<https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/metrics/mediarequests/per-file/all-referers/all-agents/%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2Fb%2Fb9%2FYggdrasil.jpg/monthly/2019110100/2019120200>
.
* Top files by media requests: e.g. what was the most popular video yesterday, December
22nd? Fred Rogers testifying before the Senate Subcommittee on Communications
<http://stats.wikimedia.org/v2/#/en.wikipedia.org/content/top-mediarequests/normal%7Ctable%7Clast-month%7Cmedia_type~video%7Cmonthly>
. Fun! You can check out the top 1000 media files for any month or day, for any media
type.
Media requests is, in terms of absolute numbers, a huge dataset, so the per file and top
metrics are still being loaded with data all the way to 2015. We expect this loading to
finish in mid January.
You can read more about this in Wikitech
<https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/AQS/Mediarequests> . As usual if you
have any questions about the dataset or the new metrics please send them our way here on
the list or via Phabricator.
Happy holidays!
Francisco + the A team
