pkgstats round two: take your vote and help improving Arch

You are right. I did not configure the KDE aliases correctly, so they effectively got counted twice. Should be fixed now. Also see https://github.com/archlinux-de/pkgstat … pp.yaml#L5

Thanks a lot for doing this! A suggestion: I think neovim would qualify as editor in the Fun section as well (it's at 21.95% at the moment).

Maybe it could be a good idea to save package pairs, triplets, quadruplets etc for statistics? It could be useful to know, how are connected packages and which packages are installed together.

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the best place to report this and it may have been caught before. pkgstats shows a 404 when I try packages whose names are a single character long.

-> curl -s 'https://pkgstats.archlinux.de/api/packages/r

Not all packages are included, and there are only two one-letter packages in the repos. So I suspect it's just a coincidence that neither of them are included. In fact less that 1% of packages in the repos are even included. 100 are included, and there are 10392 in the 3 main repos.

Thanks for the hint. I fixed the routing: https://pkgstats.archlinux.de/packages/r (For future readers: You may report issues at https://github.com/archlinux-de/pkgstat … .de/issues )

What do you mean by "included"? pkgstats also tracks unofficial packages e.g. from AUR. At the moment there are about 129K different packages in the database.

Trilby · 2019-12-20 12:32:43

There are 100 packages listed here.

Pierre · 2019-12-20 14:45:27

Yesh, the default limit is 100. You can increase it and use pagination. If you know any use case where one would need to request more data at once, let me know.

Trilby · 2019-12-20 14:50:45

Nope. Sorry, I misunderstood how it worked. Saky's url (for 'r') also didn't work for me, so I just did a trivial exploration by going "up" one level in the url and saw what looked like a listing of everything that'd be available. I confirmed 'r' was not on that list, then checked other packages, only to realize most packages weren't in that list.

I failed to consider the that the list returned from that url would be limited (which in hindsight was a foolish oversight by me).

Pierre · 2019-12-20 15:37:26

Don't worry about it. I still need to announce all this, but for those who are interested in using the API, here is the documentation: https://pkgstats.archlinux.de/api/doc (it's interactive and has some examples)

Thanks, noted for future reference!

piperdan · 2020-04-03 19:25:06

Done.
Now this is the kind of contribution even I can do. Kind of like giving blood.

MicSpabo · 2021-06-04 16:38:00

@piperdan: Me too

Maybe the machineID would be a decent candidate for the next version?
Just my two-cents after reading through one decade.

I would like to run a script monthly to take a look at trending packages. But I would need to download all the packages each month. Is there a better way to get the monthly popularity series for each package than doing 100k requests?

How do I know which is the first month for each package?
