Hi there,

I want to announce that 3 months ago I started https://pepy.tech/ with the
goal to show download information about any python project in an easy way.
The project has evolved satisfactorily and, in my opinion, is mature enough
to show it to the python community. I hope you will find it useful :-)

Also, the project is open source https://github.com/psincraian/pepy


Any suggestion is welcome :-)

Hello,

what'd you think about adding JSON API? Would be great for using *pepy* in
packaging-related tools.

Hello Eli,

Many thanks for the suggestions. It will not be too much complicated to add
an api endpoint to retrieve the downloads, maybe this weekend I will
implement it.

Do you have any idea of how to use this data?

Hi Petru,

Thanks for reply. I could integrate PEPY into my GUI for pip, called pips
<https://github.com/ptytb/pips>.

As you can see on the first screenshot, PIPS shows some package info in
the tooltip. Since download stats had been removed from PyPi, PIPS haven't
had
any simple provider for that, and here PEPY came out.

Another use is sorting search results by download rate, thus, most
popular packages have to be shown at the beginning of the install
suggestions list (second screenshot).

There're some other PyPi stats tools, like pypi-cli
<https://github.com/sloria/pypi-cli> which I guess are broken now and could
switch to a new API as well.
