To measure the adoption of an OSS project, it would be useful to track traffic data.

• GitHub page view stats: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/metrics/traffic?apiVersion=2022-11-28#get-page-views
• GitHub clone stats: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/metrics/traffic?apiVersion=2022-11-28#get-repository-clones
• GitHub top traffic sources: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/metrics/traffic?apiVersion=2022-11-28#get-top-referral-sources

Docker Pulls might be more tricky for historical data. For live data, we can use the following:

Challenges

These stats are numbers-only. They do not fit our activity/member model. To have it, at least, in the reports section, we will need a new table and new Cubes. This could be a reasonable MVP.

From Discord

I know you store activities, so tracking anonymous metrics is not ideal in your data model but hear me out: There is no good solution at all anywhere on the web to easily track and analyze: - GH downloads - GH traffic stats - GH registry image pulls - Docker Hub image pulls. I bet people would pay for someone to scrape these metrics, store them and make them analyzable. Because unlike GH stars, these metrics show real project signals and adoption. I think these metrics would be very powerful on your reports combined with other user-focused metrics.

this should not be an issue for our data model with template-based reports

I think the challenge is more around getting the data; I don't think you can get it via GH API

Yes, you can. The endpoints are in the description

@nuno we should take those data points into consideration for a template-based reports
