Is there a way to get a bot to list pageviews for all pages in a category? I found mentions of self.counter has to do with pageviews, but I can't find a script that uses it.
I cannot find any reference to a counter that has to do with pageviews in
the framework; they seem all related to counting something else (e.g. the number of categories, or the number of edits).
The API does expose a 'counter' item, however: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Properties
I was asked: "Do you have a bot that can report the page view counts for
the pages in the http://www.appropedia.org/Category:JMC330_International_Mass_Communicationca..."
You can call the API directly from the framework, for example:
import wikipedia site = wikipedia.getSite('en', 'appropedia') p = wikipedia.Page(site,
'Category:JMC330_International_Mass_Communication')
import query query.GetData({'action': 'query', 'prop': 'info', 'titles': p.title()},
site)['query']['pages'].values()[0]['counter'] 4230
Hope this helps.
Best, Merlijn
