Wikipedia Pageview Spikes
Find Wikipedia articles whose daily views spiked: article, wiki, date, views, normal level (median of prior days), spike ratio and rank, from Wikimedia's official pageview statistics.
About this data
Find Wikipedia articles whose daily views spiked: article, wiki, date, views, normal level (median of prior days), spike ratio and rank, from Wikimedia's official pageview statistics. Any language or wiki, one day or a range. For trend, news and content research.
From the actor’s Apify Store listing. The per-call endpoint may return a bounded subset; its own description is below.
Buy per call over x402
One endpoint at api.ssh.autos. Each call is one JSON POST, paid in USDC with no account or API key, and answered in the same HTTP response.
POST /v1/wikipedia/pageview-spikes
Wikipedia articles whose daily views spiked, for one project and day: article, views, baseline and spike ratio, from Wikimedia's official pageview statistics.
Input
Send a JSON body to POST https://api.ssh.autos/v1/wikipedia/pageview-spikes.
| Field | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
project | string | optional | up to 40 characters; default "en.wikipedia" |
date | string | required | pattern ^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}$ |
minSpikeRatio | number | optional | 1–10000; default 2 |
minViews | integer | optional | 0–100000000; default 10000 |
maxResults | integer | optional | 1–10; default 5 |
Returned fields
The answer is JSON: records, a list of up to 10, and summary, the run status and counts. Each record has these 25 fields; a field the source does not publish comes back null.
25 fields per record
| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
spikeKey | string | Unique key: project:date:articleKey, e.g. 'en.wikipedia:2026-10-26:Eric_Bauza'. One row per article and day. |
project | string | Wiki the views were counted on, e.g. 'en.wikipedia', 'de.wikipedia', 'commons.wikimedia'. |
language | string | Language code of the wiki, e.g. 'en'; null for wikis without one (Commons, Wikidata, Meta). |
site | string | Wiki family, e.g. 'wikipedia' or 'wiktionary'. |
article | string | Page title with spaces, e.g. 'Eric Bauza'. |
articleKey | string | Page title as used in links and the statistics, with underscores, e.g. 'Eric_Bauza'. |
url | string | Link to the page on the wiki. |
date | string | Reported day (UTC), YYYY-MM-DD. |
views | integer | Views on the reported day (people, not bots). |
rank | integer | Rank among the wiki's most viewed pages that day (1 = most viewed; special pages count in the ranking). |
previousRank | integer | Rank the day before; null if the page was not among that day's 1,000 most viewed. |
baselineViews | number | Normal level: median daily views over the baseline days. |
baselineDays | integer | Number of days in the baseline window. |
baselineFrom | string | First day of the baseline window, YYYY-MM-DD. |
baselineTo | string | Last day of the baseline window (the day before the reported day), YYYY-MM-DD. |
baselineSource | string | 'dailyViews' = the article's own daily views (exact); 'topLists' = from the daily lists of the 1,000 most viewed pages. one of dailyViews, topLists |
baselineIsUpperBound | boolean | True when the normal level is only known as an upper limit (the page was missing from some daily top-1,000 lists and its own daily views were not read). The true spike ratio is then at least spikeRat… |
baselineDailyViews | array of objects | Views on each baseline day, oldest first. With baselineSource 'topLists', null means the page was not among that day's 1,000 most viewed (fewer views than the day's last listed page). |
daysInTopList | integer | Baseline days on which the page was among the wiki's 1,000 most viewed. |
spikeRatio | number | Views divided by the normal level (a normal level under 1 view counts as 1), rounded to 2 decimals. |
viewsChange | number | Views minus the normal level. |
access | string | Platforms counted. one of all-access, desktop, mobile-web, mobile-app |

Example call
npx agentcash@latest fetch https://api.ssh.autos/v1/wikipedia/pageview-spikes -m POST -b '{"date": "2026-09-04", "maxResults": 3}'The example values come from the API spec or the actor’s own sample input. Running it is a paid call.
What is and isn’t charged
You pay the call price for
- An answer, including a definitive “not found” or an empty result.
- Confirmed no matches returns records: [] (charged: it is an answer).
Free
- Invalid input (422), busy (503), source failure (502), timeout (504) and calls whose client hung up are never charged.
- Invalid input and source failures are not charged.
Prefer a subscription? Run it on Apify
This data source is a public actor on the Apify Store: Wikipedia Pageview Spikes. Run it with your Apify account and plan for larger, scheduled or exported runs; it may offer more input options than the per-call endpoint.
How x402 payment works
- Your client sends the request. The API answers
402 Payment Requiredwith the price and where to pay. - The client pays from its own wallet: USDC on Base or Solana over x402, or over MPP on Tempo. No account, sign-up or API key.
- The client retries with the payment attached and gets the JSON answer in the same call. You are only charged for answers.
The AgentCash CLI in the example does all three steps for you and pays from your AgentCash wallet. Any x402 or MPP client works the same way.
