CRAN download counts

API for CRAN package download counts, from the RStudio CRAN mirror.

Badges

Add a badge with download counts to your homepage or your Github project page. Our badges were generated by shields.io.

See the Github page for other badge styles.

R package

Query download counts directly from R with the cranlogs R package. You can install it from Github:

> devtools::install_github("metacran/cranlogs")

Then you can use it to query the CRAN logs server, and the results are returned in a data frame. You can also query multiple packages at once.

> cran_downloads(when = "last-week", packages = c("ggplot2", "httr"))
