Download stats

[walling]

What about including download stats as a parameter correlating to usage of a given module?

The raw data for node-modules package: http://isaacs.iriscouch.com/downloads/_design/app/_view/pkg?group_level=2&start_key=%5B%22node-modules%22%5D&end_key=%5B%22node-modules%22%2C%7B%7D%5D

Getting the data using request library:

request('http://isaacs.iriscouch.com/downloads/_design/app/_view/pkg', {
  json: true,
  qs: {
    group_level: '2',
    start_key: JSON.stringify([name]),
    end_key: JSON.stringify([name, {}])
  }
}, function(error, response, body) {
  // ...
});

The stats should be aggregated (per week, per month, per year).

You can see the download stats here: http://npm-stat.com/

@pvorb I receive the following message for the request and for the localeval libraries (and presumably, for many more):

An error occured. Please try to reload the page or contact me at paul@vorba.ch if that doesn't help.
