A couple updates for the Mobile Content Service and RESTBase:
A new MCS service was deployed yesterday that returns events, holidays, birth and deaths. This service is powered using Wikipedia contributed by our volunteers. It currently works for EN, DE, FR, SV (with rollout to more languages being planned).
For example, to see today’s births: https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/feed/onthisday/births/02/14 (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_14)
Even better, it returns the curated list selected anniversaries: https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/feed/onthisday/selected/02/14 (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Selected_anniversaries/February_14)
For more information, check out the docs: https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/#!/Feed/aggregatedFeed_0
Thanks to Monte and Bernd for working on this and creating a very useful endpoint!
Another minor, but useful improvement made earlier this month was the inclusion latitude and longitude in RESTBase summaries by Petr: https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/summary/atlanta
Special thanks to Petr, Marko and the rest of the Services team for all their help and consultation. They continue to be great partners for the Reading team and their contributions have been key to so much of our work over the past year.
For more information, check out the docs: https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/#!/Feed/aggregatedFeed_0
The docs could use some spelling control :)

Congratulations to those involved! This will enable important (and asked for) features for our users, and another step in the right direction technically as we leverage more services across multiple platforms and the broader ecosystem.

DJ: The docs will be updated next time when RESTBase gets deployed.
