This is an R wrapper for the
Wikimedia Analytics Query Service (AQS).
The REST API provides cacheable and
straightforward access to Wikimedia content and data, in machine-readable
formats. This particular wrapper is for the /metrics
endpoint.
The editor_type
parameter in functions allows you to filter the type of
editors having performed the related action. Can be anonymous
for users
not logged in, bot group
for logged in users that are part of the bot
group, bot
for logged in users whose name contains bot
(high probability
of being a bot, even if counter examples exists), and user
for logged-in
users not in bot group
nor bot
sets. Finally, you can use all
to not
filter by editor type.
The page_type
parameter in functions allows you to filter for the type of
page over which the action is performed. Can be content
for pages
belonging in content namespaces, also known as "main" namespaces. This page
type is also referred to as articles, and for most wikis includes pages in
namespace 0 only. Can also be non-content
for pages in namespaces not
considered content (talk pages, user pages etc). Finally, you can use all
to not filter by page type.
The package comes bundled with a list of active Wikibooks, Wikinews, Wikipedia, Wikiquote, Wikisource, Wikiversity, Wikivoyage, and Wiktionary wikis.
