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.
