Package: github-traffic-stats2
GitHub Traffic StatsA small Python project to pull and store traffic stats for GitHub projects using GitHub API.Currently GitHub provides only 14 days of traffic data to a repo. This data includes the number of views and the number of unique visitors for each day.But what happens if you want to store and view more than 14 days of data?
This script aims to collect and aggregate the data and then store it in a simple NoSQL DB which can later be viewed and analyzed.Table Of ContentsInstallationUsageLicenseInstallationThis script requires Python 3 (Python 2.7 is no longer supported).The requirements for this script are described inrequirements.txt.Installation with pip:pip install github_traffic_stats2If you choose this option you'll be able to run the script simply by typinggithub_traffic_statsInstallation without virtualenv:python pip install -r requirements.txtInstallation with virtualenv (linux/Mac):$ virtualenv venv

(venv)$UsageThere are 3 modes of operation:collect,viewandexportcsvCollectCollect last 14-days traffic data from GitHub and store it in the DB. The DB is pickleDB which is a really simple NoSQL DB which is stored in a local file.Usage:Collect traffic data for a repo:python github_traffic_stats.py collect -u [github-user] -r [github-repo] -t [github-access-token]Where:[github-user]is the GitHub user who owns this repo[github-repo]is the GitHub repository to pull stats on[github-access-token]is the GitHub personal access tokenExample:python github_traffic_stats.py collect -u seladb -r pcapplusplus -t ******
