I think it would be interesting to be able to search for articles by views
while retaining the existing qualifiers.

An example query might be: List articles with 500 - 750 views during the
time of 12/15/2015 and 12/17/2015 (or maybe, if that is easier, just one
day), only real users (no bots / spiders) accessing from mobile devices.

The data is already there, it is just a different way of accessing it.

While it is currently already possible to do this, if one wants to crawl a
whole project, you need millions of API requests (at least for the bigger
wikipedias like en or de and whatnot).

Best,
Felix
