package-use

Use the nodei.co Node.js package download count API to create CSV data on package use

Usage

$ node-package-use [--average] <package name>[ <package name>[ <package name>...]]

Provide one or more npm package name and you will get (nearly) one year's worth of downloads-per-day data for each package, side-by-side.

Prints CSV data to standard out, redirect to a file for use. e.g.:

$ node-package-use express hapi > express-hapi-compare.csv

Use the --average command-line flag to print a rolling 7-day average of the data instead of raw per-day date for nicer graphing. Note that current Node.js download counts are heavily weighted to weekdays so you get very large dips on weekends. 7-day averages smooth those out to provide more interesting graphs. Data produced with averages will be 7 days shorter as the first 7 days are skipped.
