Wikimedia Foundation Pageview Tools

This project is a collection of tools used to parse and query Wikimedia Foundation pageview data, from both static dumps and the online API.

Install

pip install mwviews

pageview API

from mwviews.api import PageviewsClient

p = PageviewsClient()

p.article_views('en.wikipedia', ['Selfie', 'Cat', 'Dog'])
p.project_views(['ro.wikipedia', 'de.wikipedia', 'commons.wikimedia'])
p.top_articles('en.wikipedia', limit=10)

# The client can do more than the API, for example monthly rollups for article views:
p.article_views('en.wikipedia', ['Selfie', 'Cat'], granularity='monthly', start='2016020100', end='2016043000')

# Feel free to add your own features in pull requests!

When querying for multiple articles and multiple projects the client uses ThreadPoolExecutor to parallelize. You can set the level of parallelism when you instantiate the client like p = PageviewsClient(10).
