# Wikipedia

## The source

Wikipedia measures how much attention a topic gets, from Wikimedia's pageview counts.

## Coverage

- Daily or monthly pageviews for any English Wikipedia article, from July 2015
- The most-read articles of a day or month
- Article search, to find exact titles

Counts cover desktop, mobile web and the apps, and leave out bots. Titles must match exactly, so a
guessed one comes back as zeros. Redirect views stay with the redirect.

## Freshness

A day's counts publish about a day after it ends. The most-read list defaults to the day before
yesterday.

## Limits

| Limit | Value |
|---|---|
| Articles per call | 5 |
| Most-read range | 31 days |
| Most-read articles per day | 50 |
