Hi Thomas.

I used, one year ago, the API: I downloaded the data from the Index pages, and I think that it would be good to have it while we still don't have Wikidata.
I guess it could be very useful to use for importing those data into Wikidata.

The problem with those API is that it works only it Index pages, which are only a fraction of the "book" entity on Wikisource. Index pages are not linked in a structured way with their ns0 pages, and this is a problem for us.

Ideally, we would know when a Index page has only one ns0 page, and we would use the same set of data to create an entity (or more) into Wikidata.

I know that Sam is trying to develop a similar tool:
https://tools.wmflabs.org/ws-search/
and I don't know if that uses your API.

I definitely used the pageviews API. So I understand now why the count was 0. Sorry for the false info and thank you for your correction.

But my proposal still stands as I do not know any actual user of the API.

The pageviews API doesn't count requests to the OAI-PMH endpoint at all, because they have "content-type: text/xml" while text/html is required: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Page_view#Definition
