Wikipedia Pageviews API

Wikipedia pageview statistics as an API, live from the official Wikimedia REST API. See the most-viewed Wikipedia articles for any day — a real-time pulse of what the world is reading and searching for — with junk namespaces filtered out by default, and get the daily (or monthly) view counts and totals for any individual article over any date range. Works for any language edition (en.wikipedia, de.wikipedia, fr.wikipedia and 300+ projects) and any access method (desktop, mobile-web, mobile-app). Ideal for trend analysis, news, research, dashboards, SEO and content strategy. Public Wikimedia data.

Historical events, notable births and deaths, and holidays for any calendar date — "on this day in history" — relayed live from Wikipedia. Get today's curated highlights, or pass any date (e.g. 07-20 → Apollo 11 Moon landing among the events) to retrieve notable events, births, deaths, holidays/observances, or the editor-selected highlights. Every entry carries the year, a one-line description and a link to the relevant Wikipedia article. Ideal for "today in history" widgets, daily-content apps, trivia, newsletters and educational tools.

Wikivoyage API

Wikivoyage as an API — the free, community-written worldwide travel guide, the travel sister project of Wikipedia. Wikivoyage covers countries, cities, regions, neighbourhoods and points of interest with practical, freely-licensed advice on what to see and do, how to get around, and where to eat and sleep. This API wraps the official Wikivoyage MediaWiki service into clean JSON. /v1/destination?title=Paris returns a destination's guide: its one-line description, the introductory guide text as plain readable prose, its geographic coordinates, a thumbnail image and the canonical URL — everything to present a destination at a glance. /v1/search?q=beaches searches the travel guides by keyword and returns matching destination titles with a short snippet, for building destination finders and autocomplete. /v1/nearby?lat=48.8584&lon=2.2945&radius=10000 finds destinations and points of interest within a radius (up to 10 km) of any coordinate, sorted by distance — perfect for "what is worth visiting near me" and map-based discovery. Titles are Wikivoyage article names such as Paris, Rome, Tokyo or Paris/7th arrondissement. Ideal for travel apps, trip planners, tourism dashboards, location-based discovery and chatbots. Content is licensed CC BY-SA by the Wikivoyage community. For encyclopaedic, non-travel content, pair this with a Wikipedia API.
