Get the daily pageview history for any Wikipedia article via the official Wikimedia REST API: spot traffic spikes, gauge public attention on a topic, or track interest over time.

Built for PR, media-monitoring, and research teams who want a quick attention signal without pulling Wikimedia's raw dump files.

Input

{
"article": "Bitcoin",
"project": "en.wikipedia",
"daysBack": 30
}
FieldTypeDescription
articlestring (required)The exact Wikipedia article title, e.g. "Bitcoin" or "Elon Musk" (spaces are fine).
projectstringThe Wikipedia language edition, e.g. "en.wikipedia", "de.wikipedia", "ja.wikipedia". Default "en.wikipedia".
daysBacknumberHow many days of daily history to return, counting back from yesterday. Default 30, max 180.

Output

One record per day:

{
"article": "Bitcoin",
"project": "en.wikipedia",
"date": "2026-08-17",
"views": 4608
}

A nonexistent article/project combination returns a clear error rather than an empty result set. Wikimedia's pipeline typically lags 1-2 days behind real time, so the most recent day or two may not be included yet even when daysBack asks for them — this is normal, not missing data.

How it works

Direct calls to the official Wikimedia Pageviews API — no proxy, no key, no scraping. This is the same aggregated pageview data Wikimedia publishes for public reuse.

Pricing note

Billed per lookup (one run), not per day returned — one charge whether you request 1 day or 180.
