api_stats 0.2

Quickstart

api_stats loads a “configuration file” that tells it what to fetch and which fields to record. This file is a Python script that will be loaded by api_stats, with a single global stats that acts as the interface with the program. This interface currently offers two functions: record(key, value), and get_json(url).

Here is an example configuration file, that records the number of downloads of each file from GitHub releases:

releases = stats.get_json(
    "https://api.github.com/repos/remram44/api_stats/releases")
for release in releases:
    relname = release.get('tag_name') or release['name']
    for asset in release['assets']:
        stats.record('%s/%s' % (relname, asset['name']),
                     asset['download_count'])
