Download Statistics

Pypi stores download information in a BigQuery public dataset. It can be queried to get detailed information about downloads. For example, to get the number of downloads per version, you can run this query:

SELECT
  file.version,
  COUNT(*) as total_downloads,
FROM
  TABLE_DATE_RANGE(
    [the-psf:pypi.downloads],
    TIMESTAMP("20161120"),
    CURRENT_TIMESTAMP()
  )
where file.project == "kubernetes"
GROUP BY
  file.version
ORDER BY
  total_downloads DESC
LIMIT 20
