Great - thanks! That information isn't included in the docs that I'm looking at.
Thanks for the quick reply.

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.
