Wikimedia content can be used out of Wikimedia servers through the
MediaWiki API. For instance, we can see Wikimedia content in various web
services and mobile apps.
Do we have any metrics about the API requests we are getting in
Wikimedia servers?
Yesterday a developer asked me (for the sake of discussion) how would we
feel if the traffic in Wikimedia servers would decrease 1% while the
content served through our API would grow 10%. I found the question very
interesting, and made me wonder what do we know about our API usage.
