You can filter list=logevents with letype=newusers, e.g.: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=logevents&lety… Read the logevents documentation <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=help&modules=query%2Blogevents> for additional options.

The editing API <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Edit> can also create pages. You may want to pass the "createonly" parameter to ensure you won't edit existing pages by mistake. Some libraries <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Client_code> exist that ease the work by flawlessly handling the tedious parts. If you're developing a JavaScript gadget, then mw.Api <https://doc.wikimedia.org/mediawiki-core/master/js/#%21/api/mw.Api> is for you. Otherwise, have a look at Pywikibot <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Pywikibot>! (disclaimer: I am among its contributors) Il 14/03/2015 22:16, ArtGiray . ha scritto:

Depends on how you define page creator. If you are talking about the fist person to edit a page, you can use prop=revisions with a the sort direction oldest first. On Wed, Mar 18, 2015 at 6:13 PM, ArtGiray . <giraybal(a)gmail.com> wrote:

There are many ways to understand what is the "creator", and odd cases for that. The person who edited the oldest non-deleted revision currently at that title is probably the most suited approximation. You can obtain it with a query like:
