I'd like to know how many downloads of a given package in a PPA there have been since it was first published.
I remember there was a bug about it about getting these metrics on the web UI, but as far as I know, it never got implemented.
But I think the number of downloads can nevertheless be obtained via the Launchpad API if I'm the owner of that PPA. Any pointers?
Check out this script:
#!/usr/bin/python2
# Usage python ppastats.py PPATEAM (ex: webupd8team) PPA (ex: gthumb) DIST (Ubuntu version eg maverick) ARCH (ubuntu arch eg i386 or amd64)
# Example - highest downloaded file: python ppastats.py webupd8team y-ppa-manager maverick amd64 | tr ' ' ',' | cut -d ',' -f3 | sort -gr
import sys
from launchpadlib.launchpad import Launchpad
PPAOWNER = sys.argv[1]
PPA = sys.argv[2]
desired_dist_and_arch = 'https://api.launchpad.net/devel/ubuntu/' + sys.argv[3] + '/' + sys.argv[4]
cachedir = "~/.launchpadlib/cache/"
lp_ = Launchpad.login_anonymously('ppastats', 'production', cachedir)
owner = lp_.people[PPAOWNER]
archive = owner.getPPAByName(name=PPA)
for individualarchive in archive.getPublishedBinaries(status='Published', distro_arch_series=desired_dist_and_arch):
x = individualarchive.getDownloadCount()
if x > 0:
print individualarchive.binary_package_name + " " + individualarchive.binary_package_version + " " + str(individualarchive.getDownloadCount())
elif x < 1:
print '0'
To use it:
python ppastats.py webupd8team themes natty i386
