Wikipedia Trends API

healthy 4,601 Subscribers

Live readership-trend data from the Wikimedia Pageviews API — the official measure of what the world is reading on Wikipedia and its sister projects. See the most-viewed articles on any Wikipedia language edition for a given day (the daily trending list); pull the daily or monthly pageview trend for any single article over a date range; read a whole project's total pageviews over a range as a barometer of overall traffic; or rank several articles head-to-head by total views for topic-engagement comparison. Special / namespace pages (Main Page, Search, Portal…) are filtered out by default so the trending list is real articles. Read live from Wikimedia, nothing stored — data lags about 1-2 days, so ranges default to ending two days back. This is the Wikipedia readership-trend and topic-engagement layer for any trends, research, newsroom or analytics app — distinct from Wikipedia content APIs: this is the pageview, trending and engagement signal of what people are actually reading and how it changes.

Wikipedia Edits API

Live Wikipedia editing activity as an API — a read on who is editing Wikipedia and what they are changing, served from the official MediaWiki API. It returns the firehose of recent edits across any language Wikipedia (page title, editor, edit summary, byte change, timestamp, and bot/minor/new flags), the profile and contribution stats of any editor (total edit count, registration date, account age and user groups), and an editor's own recent edits. Multilingual across the major Wikipedias. The contributor-and-edits layer for the world's encyclopedia, for social, research and dashboard apps. Live, no key, no cache. Distinct from Wikipedia content and search APIs and from pageview (reader) APIs — this is the live editing activity and the people behind it.

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.
