Hi,
I'm looking for help using the MediaWiki API to get some page view counts.
I'm able to get page view counts on some sites, such as the wikia muppet site:
http://muppet.wikia.com//api.php?action=query&prop=info&titles=Beak…
But that's not working on
en.wikipedia.org:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=Health&prop=i…
That gives an error message that says: "Unrecognized value for
parameter 'inprop': views".
A few questions:
+ Does that error message happen because Wikipedia is configured with
$wgDisableCounters=true, or am I doing something wrong?
+ Is there some other API that I should look at for getting page counts?
+ Should I ping Henrik about maybe screen-scraping from his
stats.grok.se page traffic stats pages?
Thanks, I appreciate any help you can give me. I'm doing this work as
part of the Health Speaks effort to translate health information into
more languages, and we want to get a sense of how useful the newly
translated pages turn out to be.
