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}
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
article | string (required) | The exact Wikipedia article title, e.g. "Bitcoin" or "Elon Musk" (spaces are fine). |
project | string | The Wikipedia language edition, e.g. "en.wikipedia", "de.wikipedia", "ja.wikipedia". Default "en.wikipedia". |
daysBack | number | How 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.
