The Wikidot home page includes these statistics, which are automatically updated:
I'd like to see this available via the API, under a new 'wikidot' namespace. When the API method is called, it could return the current statistics (or cached statistics up to an hour old, if providing up-to-date information is an issue).
Other information could also be made available via the API, under the same namespace:
- New users (title, name, id, join date)
- New sites (title, unix name, creation date)
Example method names would be wikidot.stats, wikidot.users and wikidot.sites.
