(Redirected from Analytics/AQS/Wikistats)

This page documents how to access Wikistats 2 data through the Analytics Query Service API. Available metrics revolve around edits, edited-pages, editors and newly-registered-users.

The Analytics Team has taken a lot of ideas from Erik Zachte work, and we are immensely grateful for all the work Erik has put into gathering, consolidating and maintaining stats over wikimedia project for many years. For more on the differences between the two datasets, see the Analytics/AQS/Wikistats 2/Data Quality page (disclaimer: they are small!).
