wx_active_editors: Active editors counts
In bearloga/waxer: API Client Library for 'Wikimedia Analytics Query Service (AQS)'

Description Usage Arguments Value Granularity and dates License See Also Examples

Number of active editors. Caution: This metric measures editors' activity, therefore it includes edits on redirects.

wx_active_editors(
  project,
  editor_type = c("all", "anonymous", "user", "bot", "bot group"),
  page_type = c("all", "content", "non-content"),
  activity_level = c("all", "1-4", "5-24", "25-99", "100+"),
  granularity = c("daily", "monthly"),
  start_date = "20191101",
  end_date = "20191231"
)

`project`	The name of any Wikimedia project formatted like `{language code}.{project name}`, for example en.wikipedia. You may pass en.wikipedia.org and the .org will be stripped off. For projects like Wikimedia Commons (without language codes), use commons.wikimedia. For projects like www.mediawiki.org, you can use that full string, or just use mediawiki or mediawiki.org.
`editor_type`	If you want to filter by editor-type, use one of "anonymous", "group-bot" (registered accounts belonging to the bot group), "name-bot" (registered accounts not belonging to the bot group but having bot-like names) or "user" (registered account not in bot group nor having bot-like name). If you are interested in edits regardless of their editor type, use "all-editor-types" (default).
`page_type`	If you want to filter by page-type, use one of: "content" (edits made in content namespaces) or "non-content" (edits made in non-content namespaces). If you are interested in editors regardless of their page type, use "all" (default).
`activity_level`	If you want to filter by activity-level (number of edits), use one of: "1-4", "5-24", "25-99", or "100+" edits. If you are interested in editors regardless of their activity-level, use "all" (default).
`granularity`	The time unit for the response data. As of today, supported values are daily (default) and monthly.
`start_date`	The date of the first day to include, in YYYYMMDD format. Can also be a `Date` or a `POSIXt` object, which will be auto-formatted.
`end_date`	The date of the last day to include, in YYYYMMDD format. Can also be a `Date` or a `POSIXt` object, which will be auto-formatted.

A tibble data frame with columns

project: project
date: Date; beginning of the month if granularity = "monthly"
editors: Number of active editors

For "monthly" granularity, the start_date and end_date need to contain the full month.

For example, start_date = "20191101" and end_date = "20191231" would only give the monthly total for 2019-11. To include 2019-12, use end_date = "20200101".

Frustratingly, start_date = "20191201" and end_date = "20191231" does not yield 2019-12 monthly total. Use end_date = "20200101" for that.
