Hi,
This is great news. It has a lot of potential.
The "counter" property corresponds to the total number of hits since the page was created? A suggestion: it would be great to have this info by revision. Given a page title + a revid, return the number of hits observed when this revision was committed.
Even better would be to have access to the full request metadata for each hit. I understand that this would greatly increase storage requirements.

Hi,
I'm using the MW API (very cool, by the way) to perform some basic monitoring on a site that I maintain the content of, but don't have access to the MW backend. I would like to track the number of page views for certain pages, but those counts do not appear to be part of the information returned by any function in the API (that I could find).
Are page hits accessible via the API? If so, how? If not, could you please consider this a feature request? :-)
They're returned in the "counter" field in prop=info. Note that some wikis may have hit counting disabled, and that server-side caches like Squid will render hit counts meaningless.
