A couple updates for the Mobile Content Service and RESTBase: A new MCS service was deployed yesterday that returns events, holidays, birth and deaths. This service is powered using Wikipedia contributed by our volunteers. It currently works for EN, DE, FR, SV (with rollout to more languages being planned).
For example, to see today’s births: https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/feed/onthisday/births/02/14 (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_14) Even better, it returns the curated list selected anniversaries: https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/feed/onthisday/selected/02/14 (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Selected_anniversaries/February_14) For more information, check out the docs: https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/#!/Feed/aggregatedFeed_0 Thanks to Monte and Bernd for working on this and creating a very useful endpoint! Another minor, but useful improvement made earlier this month was the inclusion latitude and longitude in RESTBase summaries by Petr: https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/summary/atlanta Special thanks to Petr, Marko and the rest of the Services team for all their help and consultation. They continue to be great partners for the Reading team and their contributions have been key to so much of our work over the past year. -- Corey Floyd Apps Engineering Manager Wikimedia Foundation cfl...@wikimedia.org
