wx_most_requested_files(
  referer,
  media_type = c("all", "image", "video", "audio", "document", "other"),
  granularity = c("daily", "monthly"),
  start_date = "20191231",
  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.
`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:

date: Date; beginning of each month if granularity = "monthly"
referer: referer
file_path: the media file's path on upload.wikimedia.org
requests: number of requests
rank: requests-based ranking

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

Extensions	Media type

mp3, ogg, oga, flac, wav, midi, midi	audio
webm, ogv	video
pdf, djvu, srt, txt	document
(all other extensions)	other
