Wikipedia Pageviews API + Wikidata: Daily Views per Page

Page updated

Price: $0.10 per 1,000 pages, flat on every Apify plan, no start fee. Free-plan cap: up to 100 pages per run on the Apify Free plan. Prices checked on 2026-10-19.

The Wikipedia Pageviews tool returns one row per page with daily views over your date range, the total, average and peak day, and the page’s Wikidata item.

Redirects are followed, so titles that land on the same page come back as one row.

Who it is for

Researchers, marketers, journalists and analysts who use Wikipedia page views as a public interest signal.

  • Track public interest in topics, brands or people over time.
  • Compare attention across a list of pages for the same date range.
  • Find the peak day of interest for an event or launch.
  • Join page views to Wikidata IDs for further analysis.
