Explore pageviews

Get daily pageview counts for an article or an entire Wikimedia project. The command uses the public Wikimedia Analytics API and does not need a wiki login.

mw analytics pageviews 'Albert Einstein' --project en.wikipedia.org --agent user

Dates are inclusive and use YYYYMMDD. The default range is the last 30 days through yesterday. Pick a fixed range when comparing output formats:

mw analytics pageviews 'Albert Einstein' --project en.wikipedia.org --agent user \
  --start 20261001 --end 20261015 --output graph

Use the same query as structured data or CSV:

mw analytics pageviews 'Albert Einstein' --project en.wikipedia.org --agent user \
  --start 20261001 --end 20261015 --output json

mw analytics pageviews 'Albert Einstein' --project en.wikipedia.org --agent user \
  --start 20261001 --end 20261015 --output csv

Tables are shown in an interactive terminal; pipes receive JSON by default. Supported explicit formats are table, json, jq, csv and graph. TSV output is not currently available. Omit the article name to query project totals instead.
