stats.wikimedia.org has a lot of interesting statistics, but has no API currently. The benefits of an API would be much easier access and distribution of the data contained at stats.wikimedia.org. Pages like http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesArticlesTotal.htm are currently nearly indecipherable using a script.
[mass-moving wikistats reports from Wikimedia→Statistics to Analytics→Wikistats to have stats issues under one Bugzilla product (see bug 42088) - sorry for the bugspam!]
Prioritization and scheduling of this bug is tracked on Mingle card https://wikimedia.mingle.thoughtworks.com/projects/analytics/cards/cards/1388
