pypistats
Python 3.6+ interface to PyPI Stats API to get aggregate download statistics on Python packages on the Python Package Index without having to execute queries directly against Google BigQuery.
Data is available for the last 180 days. (For longer time periods, pypinfo can help, you'll need an API key and get free quota.)
Installation
From PyPI
pip install --upgrade pypistats
From source
git clone https://github.com/hugovk/pypistats
cd pypistats
pip install .
Example command-line use
Run pypistats with a subcommand (corresponding to PyPI Stats endpoints), then options for that subcommand.
Top-level help:
$ pypistats --help
usage: pypistats [-h] [-V] {recent,overall,python_major,python_minor,system} ...
positional arguments:
{recent,overall,python_major,python_minor,system}
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-V, --version show program's version number and exit
Help for a subcommand:
$ pypistats recent --help
usage: pypistats recent [-h] [-p {day,week,month}] [-f {html,json,markdown,rst,tsv}] [-j] [-v] package

NumPy and pandas
To use with either NumPy or pandas, make sure they are first installed, or:
pip install --upgrade "pypistats[numpy]"
pip install --upgrade "pypistats[pandas]"
pip install --upgrade "pypistats[numpy,pandas]"
Return data in a NumPy array for further processing:
print(numpy_array) # [['with_mirrors' '2019-09-20' '2.23%' 1204] # ['without_mirrors' '2019-09-20' '2.08%' 1122] # ['with_mirrors' '2019-09-19' '0.92%' 496] # ... # ['with_mirrors' '2019-10-26' '0.02%' 13] # ['without_mirrors' '2019-10-26' '0.02%' 12] # ['Total' None None 54041]] ">
import pypistats numpy_array = pypistats.overall("pyvista", total=True, format="numpy") print(type(numpy_array)) #print(numpy_array) # [['with_mirrors' '2019-09-20' '2.23%' 1204] # ['without_mirrors' '2019-09-20' '2.08%' 1122] # ['with_mirrors' '2019-09-19' '0.92%' 496] # ... # ['with_mirrors' '2019-10-26' '0.02%' 13] # ['without_mirrors' '2019-10-26' '0.02%' 12] # ['Total' None None 54041]]
Or in a pandas DataFrame:
print(pandas_dataframe) # category date percent downloads # 0 with_mirrors 2019-09-20 2.23% 1204 # 1 without_mirrors 2019-09-20 2.08% 1122 # 2 with_mirrors 2019-09-19 0.92% 496 # 3 with_mirrors 2019-08-22 0.90% 489 # 4 without_mirrors 2019-09-19 0.86% 466 # .. ... ... ... ... # 354 without_mirrors 2019-11-03 0.03% 15 # 355 without_mirrors 2019-11-16 0.03% 15 # 356 with_mirrors 2019-10-26 0.02% 13 # 357 without_mirrors 2019-10-26 0.02% 12 # 358 Total None None 54041 # # [359 rows x 4 columns] ">
import pypistats pandas_dataframe = pypistats.overall("pyvista", total=True, format="pandas") print(type(pandas_dataframe)) #print(pandas_dataframe) # category date percent downloads # 0 with_mirrors 2019-09-20 2.23% 1204 # 1 without_mirrors 2019-09-20 2.08% 1122 # 2 with_mirrors 2019-09-19 0.92% 496 # 3 with_mirrors 2019-08-22 0.90% 489 # 4 without_mirrors 2019-09-19 0.86% 466 # .. ... ... ... ... # 354 without_mirrors 2019-11-03 0.03% 15 # 355 without_mirrors 2019-11-16 0.03% 15 # 356 with_mirrors 2019-10-26 0.02% 13 # 357 without_mirrors 2019-10-26 0.02% 12 # 358 Total None None 54041 # # [359 rows x 4 columns]
For example, create charts with pandas:
# Show overall downloads over time, excluding mirrors
import pypistats
data = pypistats.overall("pillow", total=True, format="pandas")
data = data.groupby("category").get_group("without_mirrors").sort_values("date")
chart = data.plot(x="date", y="downloads", figsize=(10, 2))
chart.figure.show()
chart.figure.savefig("overall.png") # alternatively
# Show Python 3 downloads over time
import pypistats
data = pypistats.python_major("pillow", total=True, format="pandas")
data = data.groupby("category").get_group(3).sort_values("date")
chart = data.plot(x="date", y="downloads", figsize=(10, 2))
chart.figure.show()
chart.figure.savefig("python3.png") # alternatively
