Hi,
Would it be possible to add to the API, the ability to report totals of particular log actions over given time periods? Actions: un/protect, un/block, file upload, page creation, un/deletion, un/assigning user rights, move, user creation, user rename. It could be fixed time periods (eg days, weeks, months) if constantly calculating them for arbitrary time periods was considered too intensive.
I often only want totals and having to page through results with heaps of detail I don't care about is a drag.
For example, I would like to see the user creation totals on Commons, to see the effect of SUL.
cheers Brianna
