Thanks Michael, this clears it.
One last question is there a way to get the most viewed pages countrywise.
For instance, most viewed pages in India, USA, UK etc.
Thanks,
Anand

Hi Anand,
It looks like the results from those two queries are from different days. The first set
is from April 5 and the second is from April 6. For the results from April 5 in the REST
API, you'll want
https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/feed/featured/2017/04/06
<https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/feed/featured/2017/04/06>.
Also please note that the results from the Action API (api.php) aren't sorted in
decreasing pageview order as the REST API's are. You'll need to sort them
yourself. (Depending on the number of results you need, you should also familiarize
yourself with query continuation
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Query#Continuing_queries> as well as the result
limits per request on the various modules you're using (for instance, 20 for
TextExtracts and 50 for PageImages as indicated at the bottom of the results of your
query)).
After ensuring you have the same date and sorting the Action API results, you should have
the same or very similar results. For instance, looking at the results from April 5, it
looks like "Lake Nyos Disaster" is on top with 497638 pageviews in both sets.
You still might see slight discrepancies between the two sources due to implementation
details, however; for instance, in the REST API endpoint we use a heuristic to attempt to
filter out pages with pageview counts likely inflated by bot traffic, and so a few pages
here and there that appear in the Action API results wouldn't appear in the REST API
list.
Best,
Michael

Hi Team,
Thanks a lot for your support and quick responses.
As per all the suggestions you gave for my query, I found below two apis which solves my
purpose,
But I see both queries ask for todays most viewed pages on wikipedia but they are
returning different results.
Request you to please help me on this.
1)

For the action API I think you're looking for an extra property, pageviews. Maybe
something like this:

Hi Anand,
It sounds like the REST API's featured feed endpoint
<https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/#!/Feed/aggregatedFeed> provides what
you're looking for.
For example:
https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/feed/featured/2017/04/06
<https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/feed/featured/2017/04/06> (see the content
under the "mostread" key).
Under the hood, titles are obtained from the Pageview API
<https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/PageviewAPI> and then supplementary
information for our desired titles is obtained from the REST API's page summary
endpoint
<https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/#!/Page_content/get_page_summary_title>. That
would be the easiest way to go if you'd like to go in a slightly different direction
from what's provided in our featured feed endpoint.
If you'd like, you can view the implementation for the "mostread" section
of our aggregated feed endpoint here:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/GMOA/browse/master/lib/feed/mos…
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/GMOA/browse/master/lib/feed/most-read.js>
Please note that as of now the REST API endpoints are officially designated as unstable.
Best,
Michael

Hi Team,
Thanks for the great api provided for all the wiki info.
I am looking for a combination of right parameters which will return me most viewed pages
with the page url, article snippet, thumbnail image url.
Hope you can help with this.
Thanks,
Anand
