mw tools toolviews

mw tools toolviews [tool] [flags]

Query public Toolviews webserver statistics without authentication. Use –tool (-t) or a positional name; use the flag for tools named list or help. Omit the tool to query all tools. Dates are inclusive and default to the last 30 completed UTC days. Hits include automated traffic and are not counts of people. Missing observations are omitted, not filled with zeroes. JSON and CSV report counts in the hits field. Single-day all-tools rankings default to 20 results; –limit 0 returns all and –offset skips results before limiting. Selection happens locally after sorting by hits. Other queries return the complete requested period.
