This hasn't been studied yet AFAIK, although Erik Zachte might have looked
at API usage in the past. We could analyse the number of API requests from
the sampled1:1000 webrequest stream. What type of metrics are you
particularly interested in?

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.
