2025-12-19

2024-07-17

Added

• Add Commons analytics endpoints to provide data about categories and media files on Wikimedia Commons.

2023-08-01

Fixed

• Fix a bug in the error response object for device analytics that returned the detail property as an array instead of a string.

2020-04-29

Added

• Add the automated agent type for page views identified as bots based on a set of heuristics, as opposed to the spider agent type that identifies bots based on user agent. The new value is available as a filter in the page views endpoints, and also affects the top metrics since bots-created artifacts will be less present.

2016-04-08

Fixed

• Strip out 'www' if it's passed into the project parameter. This is confusing when people try to look up www.mediawiki.
• Fix a decoding bug where articles with % in their titles were causing a 500 error.
• Fix the date range to include start and end in the results.

2016-03-09

Fixed

• Remove "-" from the top page views. The "-" page is both a redirect to the Hyphen-minus page, and the way the Analytics team flags pages with unknown titles (such as search pages, diff pages, and other action specific pages). Community globally asked for this title to be removed from the top list.

2015-11-01

Initial release

Added

• Release three endpoints for page views: per-article, aggregate, and top. Some endpoints don't support all granularities yet.
