I know there are lots'o'files for daily (hourly?) pageview stats on the toolserver.
Are there aggregated counts for the whole month? So I only have to check 1 file instead of hundreds (the aggregated file would, of course, be smaller than the concatenated hourly ones). Or maybe even as a database? (Onecan dream...)
If not, does anyone volunteer to generate them? They'd really help with my GLAM tools, increase Wikimedia outreach etc.
Pageview stats are still a mess and there's no centralized or clean database, as far as I'm aware. Henrik's tool (stats.grok.se) has an API you can hit for monthly stats: http://stats.grok.se/json/en/201006/Barack_Obama
That's probably your best bet right now.
From what I understand, Wikimedia is devoting resources to setting up Open
Web Analytics. The first test run is supposed to be this week, I think.
