Hi everyone,
I'd like to compute user contributions from new accounts only, data that
is available from the Wikipedia website under the Special:Contributions
page, e.g.,
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?limit=50&title=Special:Contribution…
I've looked through the API documentation
(
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php), specifically at the section devoted
to list=usercontribs, list=recentchanges, and list=logevents but
couldn't figure out any combination of parameters to get user
contributions from new accounts only. I thought that
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=logevents&letyp…
might do the trick but apparently log events are what I'm looking for
either.
Is it possible to replicate the data from
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?limit=50&title=Special:Contribution…
using the API -- and if so, how?
Thanks!
-Raymond
