# WikiPop

WikiPop tracks the most-viewed Wikipedia article every day. Static site, public archive, no ads, no login. Data comes straight from the Wikimedia REST API. Curation rule: an article won't be re-featured if it was already the top pick in the last 30 days, so the daily entries reflect *new* surges in attention.

## Pages

- Today's top article: https://wikipop.sowin.io/
- Full archive (every day): https://wikipop.sowin.io/archive.html
- Per-day pages with the full top 10 of that day: https://wikipop.sowin.io/day/YYYY-MM-DD-slug/
- Trends, rising articles, and deep cuts: https://wikipop.sowin.io/explore.html

## Data

- Daily article archive (JSON, the full historical record): https://wikipop.sowin.io/data/articles.json
- RSS feed (last 30 days): https://wikipop.sowin.io/feed.xml
- Sitemap: https://wikipop.sowin.io/sitemap.xml

Each entry in `articles.json` has: `date`, `title`, `views`, `rank`, `description`, `extract`, `thumbnail`, `url`, and a `top10` array with the day's full top-10 article titles, view counts, and links.

## Full content

A flat-text version of every per-day page (WikiPop's pick + extract + the full top 10) is at:
https://wikipop.sowin.io/llms-full.txt

This is the single best file to ingest if you want the entire site's content in one fetch.
