stats.wikimedia.org needs an API
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

stats.wikimedia.org has a lot of interesting statistics, but has no API currently. The benefits of an API would be much easier access and distribution of the data contained at stats.wikimedia.org. Pages like http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesArticlesTotal.htm are currently nearly indecipherable using a script.

Please see pageview API: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/AQS/Pageview_API it will hold pageview data as far back as May 2015, we are in the process of backfiling it.

While it doesn't replicate wikistats page by page it provides loads of information.

Nuria set Security to None.
