Daily and monthly aggregation of hits to media files, split by the referrer Referrer means either external, internal, unknown, or any Wikimedia wiki that the resource was requested from.

wx_mediareqs_referer(
  referer,
  media_type = c("all", "image", "video", "audio", "document", "other"),
  agent_type = c("all", "user", "bot"),
  granularity = c("daily", "monthly"),
  start_date = "20191201",
  end_date = "20200101"
)

`referer`	The place that the request was made from. It can be any Wikimedia project (e.g. de.wikipedia), "all", "internal", "external", "search-engine", "unknown" or "none".
`media_type`	The media type that each file belongs to. It can be image, audio, video, document, or other. Default is "all" media types. See Media section below.
`agent_type`	If you want to filter by agent type, use "user", "bot"/"spider", or "automated" (refer to wikitech:Analytics/Data Lake/Traffic/BotDetection). If you are interested in pageviews regardless of agent type, 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 the following columns:

project: project
date: Date; beginning of each month if granularity = "monthly"
requests: number of media file requests

File types are obtained by parsing the file extension, and then classified according to the following table:

Extensions	Media type
svg, png, tiff, tiff, jpeg, jpeg, gif, xcf, webp, bmp	image
mp3, ogg, oga, flac, wav, midi, midi	audio
webm, ogv	video
pdf, djvu, srt, txt	document
(all other extensions)	other

The ability of splitting and filtering by referrer is limited to data from May 2019 onward. Before that, referrer is only split in internal, external, and unknown.
The beginning of mediarequest data is the 1st of January 2015.
The ability of splitting and filtering by agent type (user, spider) is limited to data from May 2019 onward.
About 0.7% of mediarequests are prefetches coming from Media Viewer (more details in wikitech:Analytics/AQS/Media_metrics)
