# Wikipedia History Stats API

Edit and editor counts plus the first revision for one page.

`GET /v1/wikipedia/pages/{title}/history-stats?lang=en` returns `data.edits`, `data.editors`, `data.firstRevision` and `data.complete`. `edits` is the number of revisions, and `editors` is the number of distinct editors. `firstRevision` uses the same row shape as the revisions route: `id`, `user`, `timestamp`, `size`, `comment` and `tags`.

`editsCapped` and `editorsCapped` are true when a count is capped instead of exact. `complete` is true when both counts are available; if a count request fails, `complete` is false and that count is null while the rest of the answer is still returned. A missing title is `lookupStatus: not_found` and the counts are null.

## FAQ

### What do the capped flags mean?

editsCapped or editorsCapped is true when the count stops at Wikipedia's maximum instead of being exact. The count is still useful as a lower bound, but do not present a capped value as exact.

### Why is complete false?

complete is false only when a count is temporarily unavailable. edits or editors is then null, and firstRevision is still returned. The answer is partial, not an error.

### What is the first revision?

firstRevision is the oldest revision of the page, with its id, user, timestamp, size, comment and tags. It is null only when the page has no revision to return, which is why a missing page is not_found instead.

### Can I get the full revision list?

Use GET /v1/wikipedia/pages/{title}/revisions for the paged history. The history-stats route is the small summary: two counts and the first revision.

### How many credits does history stats cost?

Pricing is documented on the operation in the API registry (shown on this page). Confirm on every response with meta.creditsCharged: that field is the billing source of truth.
