I was confused there for a bit. The API also returns JSON with
format=json. To me the Wikipedia API seems reasonably responsive in
Andrea's case (with edits < 500). Here is a Python script for Geiger's
URL:
>>> import simplejson, urllib
>>> url =
>>> "http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=usercontribs&ucuser=Andicat&uclimit=5000&ucdir=newer&ucstart=2005-06-01T00:00:01Z&ucend=2007-11-30T23:59:59Z&format=json";
>>> len(simplejson.load(urllib.urlopen(url))["query"]["usercontribs"])
