We developed some simple APIs to retrieve data from the Toolserver database. They are used on Manypedia and WikiTrip

• api.php

  Get various stats about a page

  Options:

  • article: page title
  • lang: desidered language (default: en)
  • family: wiki family (default: wikipedia)
  • year_count: show edit count per month (default: false)
  • editors: show unique editors for the page (default: false)
  • max_editors: maximum number of editors displayed (only if "editors" option is set)
  • anons: show anonymous unique editors (default: false)
  • top_ten: show top 10% of editors (default: false)
  • top_fifty: top 50 editors (default: false)

  Example

• api_gender.php Get timestamp and gender for any edit by a registered user that specified his gender on a specific page (might be quite slow)

  Options:

  • article: page title
  • lang: desidered language (default: en)

  Example

• api_geojson.php Get a GeoJSON for anonymous edits on a specific page
