Where does the data come from?

Wikimedia's pageview aggregates under CC0, served clean: internal pages such as the Main Page, Special and Portal pages and their localized equivalents are filtered out and ranks renumbered, so position 1 is a real story.

Which languages are supported?

Any Wikipedia edition, by its language code, with the noise filter localized for Spanish, French, German, Russian, Japanese and more.

Wikimedia publishes daily aggregates shortly after each UTC day ends. Top lists are cached for an hour and per-article series for six hours.

Can I get history for one article?

Yes. The article endpoint returns the daily view series for an article over a date range.

What does a call cost?

1 token. The free plan covers 500 lookups a month.

The most-read Wikipedia articles for any day and language, with internal pages filtered out

What the world is reading, right now. The most-viewed Wikipedia articles for any day and any language edition — the closest thing that exists to a public interest-graph — served clean: internal pages (Main Page, Special:, Portal: and their localized equivalents in Spanish, French, German, Russian, Japanese and more) are filtered out and ranks renumbered, so position 1 is a real story, with its view count and article URL. Yesterday's English list at build time: a true-crime story at 987,730 views, then a film release and Miss World 2026. Works across every Wikipedia language (es, fr, de, ja...), and a per-article endpoint returns the daily view series for any topic over up to 90 days with total, daily average and the peak day — instant interest-over-time for any subject (Taylor Swift, past week: 97,776 views, peaking September 2). Data is Wikimedia's CC0 pageview service, edge-cached 1-6 hours. News dashboards, content planning, SEO tooling, social listening, trivia and "what's hot" widgets — attention, quantified.

Every call needs an X-Api-Key header. A free key includes 500 tokens a month, no card required. 1 token per call, so the free plan covers about 500 calls a month.
