Quick general reminder. Please tag tasks with "Analytics-Backlog" instead
of "Analytics" for now. We need to clean that up, but we just haven't
gotten around to it.

Nice work on the API!
Cool! Check out
dv.wikipedia.org though, some of the RTL is messing with
your (N views) parens.
The only hurdle I found is that the 'articles' property is itself
nested/double encoded JSON, instead of a plain
object. This was somewhat
unexpected and makes the API harder to use.
Right, for sure. The data had to be stuffed that way to save space in
Cassandra. So we could parse it and reshape the response in RESTBase, and
that seems like a good idea and probably wouldn't hurt performance too
much. Do you think it's worth the breaking change to the format? I'll
post on the bug that MZ filed.
