For the record, this is what T149358 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T149358> was originally about <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T149358#3106745>. I was under the impression we were going to have pagecounts for all endpoints (per-article, top and aggregate), and it was somewhat disappointing to find out we only added support for aggregate. From my experience per-article data is actually of greatest interest, and I've gotten requests to add it to Pageviews Analysis since its inception. This was also part of one the top wishes in the German Technical Wishlist (I can dig up a link if need be). In addition, some things like the Did You Know <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Did_you_know> project on enwiki rely on it, where tens of thousands of template <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:DYK_talk> transclusions link to stats.grok.se on article talk pages (see the template test cases <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:DYK_talk/testcases&oldid=796118708#Live> for how this works). With stats.grok.se now gone, we have no public-facing web service to get this historical data. So I'd love to see it added to the awesome RESTBase API, but I understand it probably involves a lot of challenges. I can create another phabricator task if Vipul has not already. At any rate, I have endless thanks to give to the Analytics team for everything you've done for us. It seems we're always asking more from you! :)
R.I.P. stats.grok.se! 10 years was a good run! ~MA On Sun, Aug 13, 2017 at 1:15 PM, Dan Andreescu <dandree...@wikimedia.org> wrote: > Ah, yes, for now we have no plans to add the per-article stats, but do > open a task and explain how it would be useful, we'll prioritize it > accordingly.
