About PyPI Stats

Goal

PyPI Stats aims to provide aggregate download information on python packages available from the Python Package Index in lieu of having to execute queries against raw download records in Google BigQuery.

Data

Download stats are sourced from the Python Software Foundation’s publicly available download stats on Google BigQuery. All aggregate download stats ignore known PyPI mirrors (such as bandersnatch) unless noted otherwise.

PyPI Stats retains data for 180 days.

API

A simple JSON API is available for aggregate download stats and time series for packages.

Downstream

• pypistats is a python package that provides a client and CLI tool for the pypistats.org JSON API
• shields.io uses the pypistats.org JSON API to provide download count badges, like this one for pypistats

PyPIStats.org is also open source.

Who

This service is hosted and operated by The Python Software Foundation.

PyPI Stats was created by and hosted for over seven years by Christopher Flynn.

Thanks to Hugo (hugovk) for providing a client interface to the API.
